If you’ve been recently diagnosed with a urological condition of the bladder, kidney, or prostate, minimally invasive surgery may be an option for you.
Robotic and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgeries are procedures performed through small, precise incisions. This type of treatment allows for less pain, minimal complications, quicker patient recovery, and shorter hospital stays, resulting in a swift return to a normal, active life.
Georgia Urology is the Foremost Group in Georgia for These Innovative Treatments
Georgia Urology has the largest number of urologists in Georgia who specialize in performing laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures that treat a wide scope of bladder, kidney, and prostate cancers, as well as other diseases and conditions of the urinary tract system.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision, control, and visualization. Using state-of-the-art robotic technology, surgeons operate through small incisions while viewing the surgical area in high-definition, 3D detail.
At Georgia Urology, robotic surgery combines the expertise of our highly trained surgeons with innovative technology to help improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
Benefits of robotic surgery may include:
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Less pain and blood loss
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery and return to normal activities
Greater surgical precision for complex procedures
Robotic-assisted techniques are commonly used for a wide range of urologic procedures, including prostate cancer surgery, kidney surgery, bladder surgery, and reconstructive procedures.
Your surgeon will determine whether robotic surgery is the most appropriate option based on your condition and overall health.
Pediatric Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is also transforming the way many pediatric urologic conditions are treated. Pediatric robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform delicate and complex procedures through very small incisions, which can be especially beneficial for children.
Georgia Urology offers specialized pediatric robotic urology care, provided by surgeons with advanced training and experience in treating children using minimally invasive techniques.
Advantages of pediatric robotic surgery may include:
Smaller incisions and improved cosmetic results
Reduced postoperative pain
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery and return to school or normal activities
Robotic techniques may be used for certain pediatric urologic conditions, such as vesicoureteral reflux and other reconstructive procedures.
Our pediatric urology team works closely with families to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for each child.
Single-Port Robotic Surgery
Single-port robotic surgery is an advanced evolution of robotic technology that allows surgeons to perform procedures through a single small incision rather than multiple incisions. Through this single access point, a camera and flexible instruments work together to complete the procedure with exceptional precision.
This approach may offer additional benefits for select patients, including:
Fewer incisions
Less postoperative discomfort
Minimal scarring
Potentially faster recovery
Single-port robotic surgery may be used for certain urologic procedures involving the prostate, kidneys, and urinary tract.
Not every patient is a candidate for single-port surgery, and your surgeon will carefully evaluate whether this approach is appropriate based on your anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment goals.
