Advantages of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

When patients from Orlando, FL, come to Moffitt for their prostate cancer surgery, and the cancer is found to be confined to the prostate, our surgical oncologists may recommend a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for removal of the gland and nearby lymph nodes. This surgical procedure offers some advantages over traditional approaches:

Because of the state-of-the-art tools now available, surgeons are not only able to insert a camera, or laparoscope, for a precise internal view of the surgical site, but can also perform the surgeries with robotic assistance if necessary.
Laparoscopic surgery requires very little space to insert instruments, meaning this procedure is performed with a few small incisions for a minimally invasive approach.
Since laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure, the time spent in the hospital is often significantly reduced, and the overall recovery time is usually much shorter than with traditional approaches.

Additionally, patients who travel to Moffitt from Orlando, Florida, and beyond shouldn’t let lodging issues get in the way of receiving the very best treatment for their prostate cancer. That’s because Moffitt has partnered with several local hotels that offer our patients special rates to relieve some of the stress of travel. These hotels also adhere to our own standards of hygiene and infection control for our patients’ peace of mind.
