Robotic Procedures We Perform.



Our urologists perform the following robotic-assisted procedures at Premier Medical Urology.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic Prostatectomy 

Minimally invasive surgical removal of the prostate gland for the treatment of prostate cancer, with enhanced precision for nerve preservation and reduced risk of urinary and sexual side effects compared to open surgery.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic Partial Nephrectomy 

Removal of a kidney tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible, offering functional benefits over complete kidney removal when the tumor's characteristics allow it.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic Radical Nephrectomy 

Complete robotic removal of the kidney for larger or more complex kidney tumors where partial removal is not appropriate.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic Pyeloplasty 

Surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis to correct ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction and restore normal urine drainage from the kidney to the bladder.

Robotic Assisted Surgery

Benefits of Robotic Surgery



Robotic-assisted surgery offers significant advantages for the right candidates compared to traditional open surgical approaches. Patients typically benefit from smaller incisions that result in less scarring, reduced intraoperative blood loss and a lower risk of requiring a transfusion, less postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal daily activities and work. From the surgeon's perspective, robotic systems provide three-dimensional high-definition visualization and instrumentation capable of precise, controlled movement in spaces too confined for the human hand alone — all of which translates directly into better outcomes for patients.

Are You a Candidate for Robotic Surgery?



Not every patient with a urologic condition requiring surgery is an ideal candidate for a robotic approach, and our urologists take the time to perform a thorough evaluation before recommending any surgical treatment. Candidacy depends on a number of factors, including your specific diagnosis, the size and location of the lesion or organ involved, your overall health and medical history, your anatomy, and any prior abdominal or pelvic surgeries. Our team will discuss all surgical and non-surgical options with you in detail and help you understand the approach most likely to achieve the best outcome for your individual situation.
