About diagnosis, treatment and recovery
What are the advantages of robotic urologic surgery over open surgery?
Smaller incisions, less bleeding, less pain, a short stay and rapid recovery; nerve-sparing technique improves function preservation in the prostate.
What is the Da Vinci robotic system — does the robot or the surgeon perform the operation?
The surgeon always performs the operation; the Da Vinci Xi is a platform that translates the surgeon’s hand movements to robotic arms with millimetric precision.
Are erectile function and urinary control preserved after robotic prostate surgery?
Nerve-sparing technique improves the chance of preserving these functions in suitable cases; outcomes depend on tumor location, stage and patient factors.
In a kidney tumor, is the whole kidney removed or only the tumor?
In suitable cases only the tumor is removed via nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy; radical nephrectomy is used when needed.
When is an organ-preserving approach (TUR-BT) possible in a bladder tumor?
In superficial (non-muscle-invasive) tumors the organ can be preserved with TUR-BT; muscle-invasive tumors may require cystectomy.
How is adrenal (suprarenal) gland tumor surgery performed robotically?
Organ- and vessel-sparing robotic adrenalectomy is performed through small incisions with the Da Vinci Xi; recovery is faster than open surgery.
Which method (RIRS, PCNL, ESWL) is right for me for a kidney stone?
Stone size, location and number determine the method; RIRS is incision-free, PCNL minimal-incision and ESWL is extracorporeal shock-wave therapy.
What is the difference between HoLEP, Rezum and TUR-P for benign prostate enlargement?
HoLEP is laser enucleation, Rezum is water-vapor therapy and TUR-P is classic endoscopic resection; the choice depends on prostate size and expectations.
How long is recovery after robotic surgery and when can I return to work?
A 1–3 day stay depending on the procedure; most patients resume normal activity in 1–2 weeks. Follow-up is planned with control imaging and lab tests.
What do microsurgery and micro-TESE offer in varicocele and male infertility?
Microsurgery precisely ligates veins in varicocele; micro-TESE improves the chance of retrieving sperm from the testis.
How does the process work for international patients?
Remote assessment, visa invitation, transfer, accommodation and interpreter are coordinated end to end, with tele-medicine follow-up after return.
