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 abdominal and pelvic organs. Based on the results of the examination, the physician will 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 through which the manipulators of the da Vinci robot and a video camera are inserted into the pelvic cavity. With the help of manipulators, the surgeon ligates the large vessels of the small pelvis, isolates the nerve endings, excises and removes the prostate gland. The video camera continuously transmits a three-dimensional image of the operating field in 12-fold magnification to the monitor.

As the surgeon sees the operating field in multiple magnification, he preserves the nerve endings responsible for erection and urination. Also, normal blood supply of the pelvic organs is maintained after operations with the da Vinci robot. This is the most sparing type of surgical prostatectomy.

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. Your urinary catheter will be removed one day after the surgery.

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.

The department specializes in the surgical and drug treatment of oncological diseases, correction of complex malformations, and plastic reconstructive urology. The department is the certified Prostate Cancer Centre. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Hubert Kübler.

  • Diagnostics and treatment of urinary tract cancers
    • Prostate cancer (certified Prostate Cancer Center)
    • Bladder cancer
    • Kidney cancer
    • Testicular cancer
    • Penile cancer
  • Robot-assisted surgery
    • Radical prostatectomy
    • Partial nephrectomy
