Robotic Prostatectomy

The Jackson Clinic is delivering the #1 choice for treatment of localized prostate cancer in the United States, the da Vinci Prostatectomy.  More and more West Tennessee men are choosing The Jackson Clinic’s da Vinci Prostatectomy, a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgical procedure that removes the cancerous prostate gland and related structures.

The potential benefits of The Jackson Clinic’s da Vinci Prostatectomy are:

• Effective Cancer Control:  Studies have shown that experienced surgeons have achieved excellent results in removing prostate cancer without leaving cancer cells behind.
• Improved and Early Return of Sexual Function:  Studies have shown that most patients have a rapid return of sexual function.
• Improved and Early Return of Continence:  Studies have shown that most patients have a rapid return of urinary continence.
• Improved Results over Traditional Treatments:  Patients may benefit from surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer, the established gold standard, as compared to radiation. Surgery also has a lower risk of long-term complications than radiation treatments.

Additional patient benefits may include:

• Significantly less pain
