Robotic Prostate Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center

Traditional open surgery for prostate cancer often came with the risk of major blood loss and scarring, a long and painful road to recovery, and uncertainty about regaining continence and sexual function. Now, however, patients have a different option, and a better chance of returning to the quality of life they knew before cancer.

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 gives surgeons better perception, increased dexterity, and an ability to make more precise movements, all with smaller incisions and less blood loss. For patients, this often means a less painful, less invasive procedure that allows for a quicker return to normal activity.

At The Mount Sinai Medical Center, David B. Samadi, MD, Chief of Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery, has built a robotic prostate surgery practice based on years of interdisciplinary training and extensive operating room experience. A renowned leader in the field, Dr. Samadi has the dedicated knowledge and superlative skills necessary to deliver the best possible treatment to each and every one of his patients.
