robotic assisted radical laparoscopic prostatectomy is accomplished using the Da Vinci Surgical System, a sophisticated robotic surgery system that allows surgeons to operate on the prostate with enhanced vision, control and precision. Using the advanced surgical system, miniaturized robotic instruments are passed through several small keyhole incisions in the patient's abdomen to allow the surgeon to remove the prostate and nearby tissues with great precision. This is much less invasive than a conventional radical retro pubic prostatectomy, which involves an abdominal incision that extends from the belly button to the pubic bone during robotic assisted prostatectomy. A three dimensional endoscope and image processing equipment are used to provide a magnified view of delicate structures surrounding the prostate gland like the nerves, blood vessels and muscles, allowing optimal preservation of these vital structures. The prostate is eventually removed through one of the keyhole incisions. For most of the surgery, the surgeon is seated at a computer console and manipulates tiny wristed instruments that offer a range of motion far greater than the human risk
