Robotic prostatectomy
Nerve-sparing removal of the prostate with reconstruction of the bladder neck and urethral support, aiming at cancer control with the earliest possible return of continence.
Cared for by Dr Dimitri Gambachidze
Robotic assistance is not a different operation — it is a more precise way of performing it. The surgeon operates from a console with magnified three-dimensional vision and instruments that articulate like a wrist inside the body, through incisions of eight millimetres. In urology this translates into less blood loss, less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal life, while allowing extremely fine dissection close to the nerves and delicate suturing deep in the pelvis. All robotic procedures are performed at Hôpital Ambroise Paré in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
Nerve-sparing removal of the prostate with reconstruction of the bladder neck and urethral support, aiming at cancer control with the earliest possible return of continence.
Precise tumour excision and renal reconstruction with short ischaemia time, preserving kidney function.
Repair of ureteropelvic junction obstruction and ureteral reconstruction with fine, watertight suturing and excellent long-term patency.
Bladder and ureteric reconstruction, redo surgery and procedures after radiotherapy, where magnification and instrument dexterity matter most.
No. Every movement is made by the surgeon at the console; the robot simply reproduces it with greater precision and no tremor.
For these procedures it offers less blood loss and quicker recovery with equivalent results. What matters most remains the experience of the surgical team.
At the Groupe Hospitalier Privé Ambroise Paré in Neuilly-sur-Seine, equipped with a surgical robot, laser platforms and a microsurgery unit.
