GHS Urology Surgeons are delivering the #1 choice for treatment of
localized prostate cancer in the United States, the da Vinci
Prostatectomy. GHS's da Vinci Prostatectomy, a minimally invasive,
robotic-assisted surgical procedure removes the cancerous prostate
gland and related structures.
The potential benefits of GHS's da Vinci Prostatectomy are:
- Effective Cancer Control: Studies have shown that experienced
surgeons have achieved excellent results in removing prostate cancer
without leaving cancer cells behind.
- Improved and Early Return of Sexual Function: Studies have shown that most patients have a rapid return of sexual function.
- Improved and Early Return of Continence: Studies have shown that most patients have a rapid return of urinary continence.
- Improved Results over Traditional Treatments: Patients may benefit
from surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer, the established
gold standard, as compared to radiation. Surgery has a higher and longer
survival rate than radiation or other treatments. Surgery also has a
lower risk of long-term complications than radiation treatments.
Minimally
Invasive Surgery: The da Vinci System enables GHS
surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures
through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
Additional patient benefits may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
