At AUCNY, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care using the most advanced technology available. Our patients benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, specialized expertise, and innovative treatment options designed to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life.

One of the most effective tools we use is robotic-assisted surgery—a minimally invasive approach that allows our surgeons to perform complex procedures with unmatched precision, control, and safety.

Robotic surgery combines the skill of your surgeon with the enhanced capabilities of advanced robotic technology. During the procedure, your surgeon sits at a console and guides tiny instruments mounted on robotic arms. A high-definition 3D camera provides a magnified view of the surgical area, giving your surgeon an exceptional level of detail.

Every movement your surgeon makes is seamlessly translated into precise, steady actions by the robotic instruments. The technology allows for greater dexterity and accuracy than the human hand alone, while still keeping your surgeon fully in control at all times.

Since its FDA approval in 2000, robotic surgery has transformed the way many major surgeries are performed. Unlike traditional “open” surgery, which requires large incisions, robotic-assisted procedures use small incisions—often no larger than a quarter of an inch.

This minimally invasive approach leads to:

  • Less blood loss

  • Smaller scars

  • Shorter hospital stays

  • Faster recovery times

At AUCNY, our surgeons have been successfully using robotic technology for many years to treat prostate and kidney conditions.

For men requiring surgery for prostate cancer, robotic-assisted prostatectomy offers important advantages. This approach helps your surgeon preserve the delicate nerves and surrounding tissues of the prostate, which may improve recovery and reduce side effects.

Benefits of robotic-assisted prostate surgery include:

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Lower risk of complications

  • Reduced scarring

  • Faster return to urinary control

  • Fewer days with a catheter

  • Improved recovery of sexual function in many patients

If you are diagnosed with kidney cancer, robotic surgery may allow for a partial nephrectomy—removing only the tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. This kidney-sparing approach is often possible thanks to the precision of robotic technology.

For larger tumors, your surgeon may recommend a robotic radical nephrectomy, in which the entire kidney is removed through the same minimally invasive technique.

Take the Next Step in Your Care

Not every patient is a candidate for robotic surgery, but for many, it provides a safer, less invasive, and more effective surgical option. Your AUCNY physician will carefully review your diagnosis and overall health before recommending the approach best suited to you.
