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.

About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at the Leverkusen Clinic offers the full range of diagnostic procedures, as well as conservative and surgical treatment of diseases of the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, bladder, prostate gland and male reproductive organs. The department also treats diseases of the genitourinary system in young patients. The department's specialists have rich experience in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. The department belongs to the leading Urology Centers in Germany with high treatment success rates. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Daniel Porres. The doctor is a world-famous expert in robotic-assisted urologic surgery.

The department is a certified Prostate Center. The main focus is on the minimally invasive removal of the prostate using da Vinci Surgical System, modern treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.

The department's doctors are highly qualified in the treatment of prostate cancer. The department has various biopsy methods, which allows the doctors to sample the prostate tissue from various loci (up to 12 points). This method is as accurate as possible and is characterized by low prostate traumatization. A prerequisite for the successful treatment of cancers is the cooperation of doctors from related fields, and therefore all treatment programs are developed at special interdisciplinary tumor boards, taking into account the opinions of the necessary specialists. In most cases, the treatment regimen includes surgery, chemotherapy and innovative radiation methods, including brachytherapy.

The clinical practice mostly involves the use of minimally invasive operations. Nowadays, the department's doctors carry out such interventions in those clinical cases, which until recently required extensive open surgery. In addition, the department widely uses laser technologies, such as Greenlight laser therapy.

The department's urologists also offer the comprehensive treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in women and men. If necessary, abdominal surgeons, gynecologists and physiotherapists are involved in the therapeutic process.

The department also offers top-class services in pediatric urology. The pediatric urologists mostly perform operations to correct congenital malformations of the genitourinary system, for example, malformations of the ureters, hypospadias, epispadias, undescended testes, phimosis. In addition, the common diagnosis in children is enuresis.

The department's key focuses include:

  • Diagnostics and treatment of prostate cancer
    • MRI-guided fusion biopsy
    • Active surveillance (most often, in elderly patients)
    • Prostatectomy using da Vinci Surgical System
