Robotic Surgery Urologic Procedures

Urologic surgeons at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital perform a variety of urologic robotic surgery procedures:

Robotic Radical Prostatectomy - removal of the entire prostate gland and some surrounding tissue to treat localized prostate cancer
Radical and Partial Nephrectomy (kidney cancer removal) - removal of a kidney, lymph nodes and adrenal gland (radical), or a portion of a kidney (partial), to treat kidney cancer
Radical Cystectomy (bladder cancer removal) with urinary diversion - partial or complete removal of the bladder, often as a means to treat bladder cancer
Pyeloplasty (reconstruction of renal pelvis to remove blockage) - reconstruction or revision of the renal pelvis (located between the kidney and the ureter) in order to eliminate a blockage
