FAQ about Robotic da Vinci prostatectomy in Turkey
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Da Vinci prostatectomy
The main advantages of prostatectomy robotic surgery:
- Accuracy. The robot is controlled by a surgeon and makes the tiny incisions. 3-dimensional visualization of tissues detects possible bleeding and a doctor can quickly eliminate it.
- Short hospitalization period. A patient recovers within 3-5 days. After a traditional prostatectomy the rehabilitation period lasts 1-2 weeks.
- Low blood loss. During Da Vinci prostatectomy a patient loses about 100 ml of blood, laparoscopic - 400 ml, traditional - 1,300 ml. Such an index is achieved by filling the patient’s abdominal cavity with a special gas, which is removed immediately after the robotic prostatectomy.
- Reduced period of catheterization. The urinary catheter is removed after 5-7 days. In the case of a traditional abdominal operation, this period lasts about 10 days;
- Improvement of the urine continence. The surgical treatment by Da Vinci robot makes possible to save most of the ureter.
Open vs. Da Vinci prostatectomy
