    Leading Edge Urologic Procedures

    Whether you have a reproductive system abnormality or an obstruction in your urinary tract, highly skilled urological surgeons at PAMF offer minimally invasive procedures to help.

    Minimally invasive procedures offer many benefits, the first being minimal scarring from small incisions instead of a long incision used in open surgery. You can also expect:

    • Less blood loss
    • Low risk of complications
    • Shorter hospital stay
    • Quicker recovery time
    • Less pain

    Special tools are used to perform minimally invasive surgeries, including laparoscopes, videoscopes and computer-enhanced (robotic) surgical instruments.

    Robotic Surgery

    Robotic surgery equipment, such as the da Vinci® system, allows surgeons to perform incredibly precise procedures in small areas with enhanced vision, dexterity and control.

    When using the da Vinci® system, your surgeon’s hand and wrist movements are translated and mimicked by robotic arms that control surgical instruments. This system eliminates hand tremors and gives your surgeon greater range of motion than a human hand.

    Robotic surgery can be used to perform several minimally invasive procedures including:

    • Bladder repair or removal
    • Kidney reconstructive surgery
    • Kidney tumor removal
    • Pelvic and aortic lymph node dissection
    • Prostate removal (robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy)
