When it comes to treating urinary problems, prostate issues, and other urology related conditions, surgery is often a great solution. Unlike most medications, surgery provides permanent relief and comes with little-to-no side effects. While some are concerned that surgery is painful and requires significant recovery afterwards, most urology-related procedures come with minimal discomfort and short recovery times. 

This is especially true with robotic surgery.  

Robotic surgery offers precision that even the most skilled human hands can’t achieve by themselves. This results in less invasive procedures, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times. At Urology Specialists of Ohio, we use the Da Vinci Surgical System to provide the most advanced urology treatment available in the Miami Valley. 

What is the Da Vinci Surgical System? 

The Da Vinci Surgical System is one of the most popular robotic surgery systems in the medical field. It was also the first robotic surgery device to be cleared by the FDA for laparoscopic surgeries. Like all robotic surgery equipment, the Da Vinci system is still operated by a trained doctor. They utilize a station that provides them with a magnified, high-definition view of the area being operated on. 

They use their fingers to effortlessly move the machines four robotic arms. Every movement is done under the direct control of the surgeon. The machine has multiple fail safes and redundances to ensure no unauthorized actions take place. 

To see just how accurate the Da Vinci system is, you can see it perform “surgery” on a grape: 

Today, the Da Vinci Surgical System is used for a wide variety of operations including cardiac valve repair, hernia repair, hysterectomies, and more. At Urology Specialists of Ohio, we use it primarily for prostatectomies. This allows patients suffering from prostate issues to return to normal function as soon as possible. 

If you’re experiencing issues with your bladder, urinary tract, or the surrounding areas, don’t simply accept it as a part of life. Visit a urologist so you can get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. For a trustworthy urology doctor in the Dayton, Ohio area, contact Urology Specialists of Ohio today!
