Prostate cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in men. In fact, one in six men will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer during their lifetime. When detected early, it is also one of the most treatable. If you have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, there are a number of therapy options available to you ranging from minimally invasive treatments, such as radiation, to state-of-the-art surgical procedures, like the da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy.

 Less invasive than traditional open kidney surgery, a laparoscopic or
robotic nephrectomy is performed through a series of small incisions called
ports. Using the aid of a scope, the operating site is visualized and the
surgeon's actions carried out through the insertion of laparoscopic
instrumentation into the various ports. Advantages include a smaller
incision, less risk of blood loss, and a shorter period of recovery.
