Frequently Asked Questions

Robotic Prostate Surgery

How many robotic prostate surgeries has Dr. Samadi performed?

Dr. Samadi has performed well over a thousand robotic prostate surgeries, giving him an almost unparalleled experience in the field.

How does robotic prostate surgery differ from other surgical prostate cancer treatments?

Robotic prostate surgery is a new approach that makes use of the da Vinci Surgical System, an innovative piece of robot-assisted technology. The System allows for the performance of minimally invasive prostatectomies with shorter incisions, enhanced visualization, and greater flexibility and control, thus minimizing blood loss and scarring while promoting a faster recovery.

How long do patients stay in the hospital after the procedure?

Most patients are discharged from the hospital within 24 hours of the surgery.

Will I be able to resume normal activities?

Patients are often able to resume normal activities over time. Most activities may be resumed within four to six weeks, with some individuals returning to work as early as two to three weeks after the surgery.

How long will it take for my urinary control to return?

Most men will have good urinary control within three months of surgery. For some, however, the recovery can take up to six months or longer.

Will I be able to achieve an erection after the surgery?

Erection recovery can also be difficult and slow for some patients. The average time for the recovery of an erection is between 6 and 18 months, as nerves are slow to heal.
