The da Vinci S HD system is the most advanced surgical platform available today. Its enhanced vision, instrument dexterity, and precision allow the surgeons at Potomac Urology to overcome the limitations of traditional laparoscopy.

This minimally invasive approach is ideal for delicate urologic surgery. This includes prostatectomy, in which the target site is not only tightly confined but also surrounded by nerves affecting urinary control and sexual function. Using da Vinci, your surgeon has a better tool to spare surrounding nerves, which may enhance both your recovery experience and clinical outcomes. Referred to by many as robotic surgery for prostate cancer or robotic prostatectomy, da Vinci Prostatectomy is more accurately a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery that is quickly becoming the preferred treatment for removal of the prostate following early diagnosis of prostate cancer. In fact, studies suggest that da Vinci Prostatectomy may be the most effective, least invasive prostate surgery performed today.

Robotic surgery has been used in a variety of surgeries at Potomac Hospital including radical prostatectomy, radical or partial nephrectomy, radical or partial cystectomy, pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation, and sacrocolpopexy.

Drs. Desai and Lou performed the first robotic surgery in Prince William County and established the robotic surgery program at Potomac Hospital. Additionally, Dr. Desai has been formally trained in Urologic Oncology and robotic surgery by some of the most experienced robotic and oncologic surgeons in the world.
