How program is carried out

During the first visit, the physician will conduct a clinical examination and go through the results of the available diagnostic tests. After that, you will undergo the necessary additional examination, such as the assessment of liver and kidney function, ultrasound scan of the genitourinary system, CT scan and MRI. Based on the results of an additional examination, the physician will clarify the stage of the oncological process, choose the surgical technique and the type of anesthesia.

Surgery with the da Vinci robot starts with general anesthesia. After anesthesia, the surgeon makes small incisions on the anterior abdominal wall, through which he inserts the da Vinci robot manipulators and a video camera into the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space. With the help of manipulators, the doctor dissects the ligamentous apparatus of the kidney, excises the affected part of the kidney, or removes the entire organ. The video camera continuously transmits a three-dimensional image of the surgical area in 12-fold magnification to the monitor. The part of the kidney is removed, the surgeon installs a drainage into the abdominal cavity and finishes the operation.

By assessing the kidney blood supply to the FireFly mode, the surgeon ligates or coagulates large blood vessels in advance. This can significantly reduce blood loss during surgery, while maintaining the blood supply to the healthy part of the kidney. Resection of a malignant tumor with the da Vinci robot preserves kidney function as much as possible.

After the completion of the operation, you will be transferred back to the ward, under the supervision of the attending physician and nursing staff. Due to the minimal invasiveness of the operation and the short duration of general anesthesia, you will not need to stay in the intensive care unit for a long time.

Finally, the attending physician will evaluate the results of control examinations, schedule the date of discharge from the hospital and give you detailed recommendations for further follow-up and treatment.

About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at the Marien Hospital Duesseldorf offers the full range of medical services in the field of prevention, diagnostics and treatment of urologic diseases. The department's team of doctors admits not only adults, but also children with diseases of the reproductive (men) and urinary (men and women) systems. The specialists of the medical facility successfully perform open and endoscopic, percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical interventions. The department is part of the Center for Interdisciplinary Robotic Surgery (ZIRO), which provides patients with high-tech medical care at the highest international level. The department is equipped with the innovative da Vinci-X® robotic surgery system, which is the most modern model of the da Vinci surgical system for minimally invasive interventions that are currently the gold standard for the surgical treatment of many urologic diseases. The department has 45 beds for patient hospitalization. The department's doctors make sure that each patient receives effective treatment, taking into account his individual needs and wishes. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Patrick Bastian.

The department's specialists pay due attention to updating the equipment and improving the skills of working with it. This is one of the few departments in Germany where the da Vinci-X® surgical system is successfully used. The da Vinci-X® system is equipped with two independent optical systems transmitting a Full HD (3D) image to the screen. In addition, the cameras provide image zooming up to 15 times. This creates conditions for filigree accurate microsurgery. Performing prostate surgery with the da Vinci-X® surgical system is a guarantee of maintaining normal urination and sexual function. Other advantages of robot-assisted surgery include the absence of severe pain, minimal blood loss, good aesthetic results of the intervention, and a reduced hospitalization period. The department's urologists successfully perform robot-assisted interventions for prostate cancer, organ-preserving surgery for kidney tumors, and total bladder removal in the case of cancer. Robot-assisted techniques can also be used in reconstructive surgery: replantation of the ureter into the bladder, reconstructive surgery for renal pelvis and ureteral stenosis.

An important focus of ​​work of the department's specialists is on the provision of medical care to patients with malignant diseases of the reproductive system (men) and urinary system (men and women). Prostate cancer is the most common type of oncology in men. The doctor determines the treatment tactics depending on the stage of the oncological process – the more advanced the stage, the more radical treatment it requires. In the early stages, the focus is on accurate diagnostics (up to genetic tests), endoscopic treatment methods and elimination of risk factors for disease recurrence. In the advanced stages, priority is given to surgical interventions with the preservation of fertility and sexual function, as well as to adjuvant chemotherapy with the use innovative drugs. In addition to the department's own developments, the medical facility actively uses the results of world and European research. The treatment is carried out in close cooperation with oncologists, radiation therapists and general practitioners. The department's team of doctors specializes in the treatment of other malignant diseases, including bladder, adrenal, kidney, testicular and penile cancers. For the above mentioned cancers, the main treatment method is usually surgical resection of the tumor or the affected organ. The operation is often supplemented with chemotherapy, radiation therapy and other conservative treatments.

Benign urologic diseases are also common in the department's clinical practice. These include benign prostatic hyperplasia, kidney stone disease, urinary incontinence in men and women. In the early stages, pathologies are eliminated with conservative methods, while the advanced forms usually require surgical interventions. As a rule, the department performs low traumatic and minimally invasive operations.

Specially trained department's doctors provide medical care to young patients with urologic diseases. Particular attention is paid to the repair of congenital and acquired genitourinary malformations in boys. The department's team has successful experience in the treatment of enuresis (urinary incontinence) in children.

The Marien Hospital Duesseldorf is a modern medical facility in the very center of Duesseldorf and a recognized Research Center. The foundation stone of the hospital was laid back in 1864 with the support of the Catholic Church. The Christian principles of helping and supporting patients have not changed at all over the years, but the level of medical care has become fundamentally different: a small hospital has been transformed into a multidisciplinary medical center with 11 internal departments, institutes and 7 interdisciplinary centers. Thus, patients can receive a comprehensive diagnostic examination and treatment under one roof. The medical facility is an academic hospital, so patients have access to innovative achievements in the field of modern medicine and receive the most effective treatment.

The hospital has 437 beds for inpatient treatment. It provides first-class medical services to 63,000 patients every year. The doctors and nursing staff of the hospital strive to provide each patient with customized treatment, taking into account their wishes and needs. In addition to providing top-class medical care, the specialists pay attention to the humane attitude towards patients and their life situation. Doctors devote enough time to personal communication with patients and support them in every possible way on their path to recovery.

The team of the hospital consists of competent doctors who are the best professionals in their medical field. They all work in interdisciplinary cooperation. In their clinical practice, doctors use state-of-the-art equipment, the very latest technologies, as well as innovative treatment methods, which in combination allows achieving optimal treatment outcomes.
