Experience and expertise in robotic surgery for prostate cancer
The 1000th patient has undergone a robotically assisted radical prostatectomy at Greenslopes Private Hospital today making it the leading robotic surgical unit in Queensland.
Patients from throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales choose to travel to Greenslopes Private Hospital to undergo this latest treatment for prostate cancer where they are assured of the highest level of expertise and experience using this latest technology.
Queensland Robotic Surgery at Greenslopes Private Hospital was the first and is now the busiest robotic surgical unit in Queensland.
Our leading urologists have performed 1000 robotically assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies since they performed the first procedure in Queensland in December 2008.
Use of the da Vinci® Surgical System represents the fastest growing treatment for prostate cancer worldwide.
Since completing specialised training in the USA and Australia under the mentorship of world leaders, our team of urologists and their specialised robotic surgical team have established the reputation as the centre of excellence in robotic surgery in Queensland.
Robotic surgery makes for an intuitive approach with superior precision, allowing surgeons to perform more complex surgery in a key hole fashion. Robotic systems replicate the surgeon's hand movement at the very tips of the miniature instruments inside the patient. This superior minimally invasive surgical option offers a number of benefits including shorter stay in hospital, less pain, less risk of infection and a faster recovery.
