In June 2006, Sarasota Memorial acquired the most advanced robotic surgery technology in the world – the da Vinci-S Surgical System – and performed its first da Vinci-S robotic prostatectomy. Since then, Sarasota’s robotic surgeons have performed hundreds of robotic-assisted urological procedures at Sarasota Memorial.
The da Vinci’s minimally invasive approach is ideal for delicate urologic surgeries like prostatectomies, where the target site is not only confined, but also surrounded by nerves affecting urinary control and sexual function.
Sarasota Memorial robotic surgeons take advantage of the robot’s pinpoint accuracy to spare nerves and tissue, which in turn helps reduce the potential for incontinence and/or impotency issues that are sometimes side effects of traditional treatments and open surgeries. Smaller incisions and greater precision also benefit the patient by reducing pain and hastening recovery, as well as providing improved cancer control.
