Bladder Neck Dissection

In this video, Dr. Samadi explains why he opens the bladder neck early during robotic prostate surgery. He says it’s important to stay away from lateral tissues during this prostatectomy procedure. At Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Samadi says he’s fortunate to work with the latest version of the da Vinci robot, which gives him a fourth arm for increased function. The bladder neck dissection is necessary to separate the prostate from the bladder so that the cancerous prostate gland can be removed.
