With a 9-year experience in urologic robotic surgery, the team of EndoPlus Clinic has performed robot-assisted surgery at the Saint Constantine Hospital in Brasov from March 2017.
The main beneficiaries of surgeries performed with the DaVinci surgical robot are patients diagnosed with localised prostate cancer; the surgical robot provides remarkable facilities for the extirpation of prostate cancer in conditions of oncological safety, and also for the preservation of the urinary sphincter and neurovascular bundles responsible for urinary continence and sexual function.
Another category is formed by patients with renal cancer, who may benefit from the extirpation of the renal tumour in conditions of oncological safety, while sparing the rest of the healthy kidney. For bulky renal tumours, when the full extirpation of the kidney is required, this can be done with minimal blood loss and quick recovery of the patient to a good biological condition. The removal of the bladder in cases of infiltrating bladder cancers is another indication for the use of robotic surgery, and the procedure can be performed with minimal blood loss in conditions of maximum oncological safety, while also giving the chance to make a new urinary bladder for the patient by using a segment of the small intestine, all with just a few small incisions in the skin, with minimal postoperative pain, and quick recovery of the patient.
The clinic team also has experience in performing retroperitoneal lymphadenectomies for testicular cancer, in the surgery of adrenal glands, in correcting malformations of the urinary tract (robotic pyeloplasty for congenital or acquired hydronephrosis, robotic ureteroneocystostomy for vesicoureteral reflux, retrocaval ureter, etc.) or in the correction of vesicovaginal fistulae which are so disabling for patients undergoing surgery or irradiation for gynaecological disorders.
