Which benefits does da Vinci^® offer?

As a patient the robot-assisted da Vinci^® prostatectomy offers you the following advantages:

The technology of the da Vinci^® surgical system combines the benefits of open surgery with those of traditional laparoscopy.

The benefits of the da Vinci^® prostatectomy at a glance:

• Minimum scarring
• Less blood loss
• Less need for pain relief
• Faster recovery
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster restoration of continence
• Improved reconstruction of potency nerves

The da Vinci^® surgical system even offers the surgeon benefits over open or minimally invasive surgery:

• With the option of an up to ten-fold magnification, nerves and tissue structures are significantly easier to detect and can thus be surgically spared.
• As a result of being able to translate the surgeon’s hand movements differently, delicate structures can be precisely dissected. In conventional laparascopy movements are translated directly, i.e. at a ratio of 1:1. With the da Vinci^® surgical system large hand movements are translated into small instrument movements.
• Fatigue-free operation thanks to the ergonomic working position.
