Robot Assisted Surgery

Cutting-edge Robot-Assisted Surgery for Minimally Invasive Urologic Procedures

Dr. Horovitz is a leader in the field of urology, offering the latest in robot-assisted surgery to treat a range of urologic conditions with greater precision, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times. Dr. Horovitz can perform complex surgeries through tiny incisions using advanced robotic technology, providing patients with a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional open surgery.

What Is Robot-Assisted Surgery?

Robot-assisted surgery, often performed using the da Vinci® Surgical System, enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform delicate and complex procedures. This system provides:

  • Enhanced Precision: Robotic arms allow more refined movements than the human hand, ensuring higher accuracy in delicate areas.

  • 3D High-Definition Visualization: The surgeon views the surgical area with magnified, three-dimensional vision, offering a clearer view of intricate structures.

  • Minimally Invasive: Small incisions reduce pain, blood loss, and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.

Conditions Treated with Robot-Assisted Surgery

Dr. Horovitz uses robotic surgery to treat a variety of urologic conditions, including:

  • Prostate cancer (robotic prostatectomy)

  • Kidney cancer (robotic partial nephrectomy)

  • Bladder cancer

  • Ureteral strictures

  • Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction

  • Complex kidney stone disease
