"I consider the da Vinci System a miracle process, plain and simple. I would recommend it to anyone."
-Roy F., St. Luke's da Vinci Patient
St. Luke's Hospital urologists use the hospital's da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system to perform complex, minimally invasive surgery for prostate cancer patients. With this state-of-the-art technology, the surgeon's hand movements are scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements by micro-instruments within the operative site.
Nationwide, da Vinci systems account for 62 percent of all prostatectomies, providing additional options for the 16 percent of men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetimes. The system offers St. Luke's patients important benefits, including shorter hospital stays, less pain and risk of infection, less scarring and faster recovery.
