Considering Prostate Cancer Surgery ?
Concerned about the complications and side effects of traditional invasive prostate cancer surgery, radiation or cryotherapy?
We have some good news, and a better prostate cancer treatment solution: Robotic Prostatectomy
Breaking News: April 25, 2008 -- David B. Samadi is featured in Wikipedia - Free Encyclopedia - Click here to read more...
 

 




Robotic prostatectomy also known as Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy - is a way to perform minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. David B. Samadi, M.D., is the leader in this procedure and delivers top results to his patients, using a laparoscopic surgical robotic unit called the da Vinci system manufactured by Intuitive Surgical.

This revolutionary and advanced prostate cancer surgery and prostate cancer treatment method profoundly reduces blood loss, pain, recovery time and the familiar unwanted side effects of other treatments. For this reason, robotic assisted prostate cancer surgery is sometimes called bloodless prostate surgery.

An experienced robotic surgeon, such as Dr. Samadi, is able to enter into the patient through a few small "keyhole" entrances and handle the surgery with some very tiny and precise instruments that allow the doctor to manipulate tissue with great precision and remove the patient's prostate gland without doing any harm to surrounding tissue - a far cry from the open prostate cancer surgery techniques used in the past.

After the robotic prostatectomy, the patient is left with only a few small marks on his abdomen - and none of the scars normally associated with prostate cancer treatment and surgery.

In addition, since only the prostate has been removed, the patient suffers none of the common and very unpleasant side effects of traditional open prostatectomy.

One of the most prominent in this new field of Robotic Oncology is Dr. David Samadi Chief, Division of Robotics and Minimal Invasive Surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

To date, Dr. Samadi has performed over 1350 robotic prostate surgeries and the results are quite pleasing for his patients. In a typical week he performs over 15 cases. Dr. Samadi has operated on many celebrities, including Roy Emerson, Hall of Fame Tennis Pro.
Patient Testimonials

What makes Dr. Samadi special is that he is an Oncologist (a specialist at treating cancer), and was laparoscopically trained. Dr. Samadi has been performing robotic prostate cancer surgery since 2002. Most surgeons entering the field started within the last year, so he has more experience than most of his peers in medicine.

The majority of Dr. Samadi's da Vinci prostatectomy patients are discharged within 24 hours of their robotic surgery. Many patients leave the same day, and often walk out of the hospital within hours of their surgery. In most cases, a da Vinci robotic prostatectomy is the best prostate cancer treatment available today.

Dr. Samadi has been featured in Forbes Magazine ("Going Under The Da Vinci" 07.27.05") and on Connecticut's most prestigious cable news channel - Cable News 12, and his work has been reported on in many medical journals as well as on websites throughout the Internet.

Summary - da Vinci robotic prostatectomy - prostate cancer treatment*:

- A majority of robotic prostatectomy patients are discharged the same day, or 1-day after the procedure.
- Robotic visualization and precision enable the surgeon to perform complex prostate sugery procedures meticulously with small incisions.
- Nerves and vessels are magnified 10-15 times giving the surgeon more accuracy while reducing the risks of excessive blood loss.
- Robotic prostatectomy patients have reduced post operative scarring, as surgical incisions are much smaller compared to other prostate surgery methods.
- Robotic prostatectomy patients have faster recovery compared to open prostatectomy because nerves and vessels responsible for bladder and sexual functions are spared.
- Robotic prostatectomy is a recent and proven advancement in minimally invasive surgical procedures. The da vinci robotic system has been used in tens of thousands of minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment surgeries worldwide.

Dr. Samadi offers additional expertise in urologic oncology and laparoscopic surgery, including radical prostatectomy and da vinci robotic prostatectomy. Contact Dr. Samadi to learn more about all of the advanced prostate cancer treatment methods available.

*The benefits of da Vinci robotic prostatectomy cannot be guaranteed as surgery is both patient and procedure specific.
