With Prostate Cancer: Waiting for Symptoms Is Not...(ith a miniscule camera that displaysmagn...),Health

ith a miniscule camera that displays magnified images from inside the body. The robotic control system enables the surgeon's hand movements to be more precise, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissue, and minimal blood loss. Men who opt for robotic laparoscopic surgery are cancer free and able to resume normal lifestyles with total control over their sexual functions and bladder. Cancer free outcomes also result from traditional open prostate surgery, but men are rendered impotent and incontinent -- both of which may never be reversed. These side effects are devastating to prostate cancer patients, and have led to failed marriages and relationships, and depression.

Instead of two to three days of hospitalization and two months of recuperation typical with open surgery, robotic surgery patients go home the next day and are back to normal activities within two weeks. These patients have an excellent chance of being cancer-free with great quality of life. For more information, call 212-241-8779 or log on to http://www.roboticoncology.com.
