An open prostatectomy is a procedure where a long incision is made through the skin and abdominal wall or perineum to access your prostate.
A minimally invasive procedure that uses several small incisions to access the prostate. Laparoscopic procedures result in less postoperative pain and complications, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery compared to open prostatectomy.
This procedure uses a robotic system to perform laparoscopic prostatectomy remotely, allowing greater precision in comparison to standard laparoscopic surgery.
