The doctor. Moncada, expert in Urology , talks about the Da Vinci robot as a minimally invasive technique, something that decreases the recovery time.

 

Robotic surgery has been a breakthrough in modern surgical technology. Not only avoids large incisions but also reduces surgical trauma and provides better clinical results with faster recovery times, less pain, shorter hospital stay and a reduced risk of infection.

 

The increased 3-D vision for the surgeon, the scaled movement - a fact that suppresses shaking or sudden movements - and the great mobility of the scissors and miniature forceps that are introduced, allow an enormous precision in what we remove and, above all, , in what we want to preserve. The most common robotic intervention is radical prostatectomy, which is performed to cure prostate cancer, although it is also used in radical cystectomies due to bladder cancer or partial nephrectomies, in which we remove a kidney tumor while preserving the rest of the organ.

 

Robotic surgery for the prostate

Frequently, incontinence and erectile dysfunction problems occur after radical prostate surgery. This possibility is minimized with robotic surgery in a very significant way; in fact, we are experts in the correction of these sequels and pioneers in the introduction of surgical techniques that allow correcting both problems. By placing mesh or artificial urinary sphincter in the case of incontinence, and prosthetic implants in the case of erectile dysfunction. Very particularly, we use the simultaneous implant through a single small incision of both devices to solve both problems in a single operation.

Robotic surgery has allowed to provide better clinical results.

 

We receive patients from all over the world for this type of operation, and our experience with the da Vinci Robot is unbeatable; We have operated more than 600 patients with excellent clinical results.

 

Our results in oncological control, percentage of continence and preservation of erectile function and above all of patient satisfaction are comparable to those of the best hospitals in the world.
