Prostate Cancer Treatment Expert David B. Samadi M.D Announces Breakthrough with over 1100 Robotic Prostatectomy Surgeries



Internationally respected for his surgical practice, Dr. Samadi discusses what it takes to be a leading robotic surgeon. He attributes his success to a top notch surgical team. He has operated with the same surgical team for many years; they rely on each other and drive the surgery to a successful completion. The expert group at Mount Sinai in New York City operates under Dr. Samadi's direction to seamlessly produce a 95% cure rate for his patients. The short average surgery time of 77 minutes means minimal risk to the patient under general anesthesia. There is less trauma to the patient because instead of making one five inch incision through the abdominal muscle to get at the prostate, the da Vinci surgical system makes five inch openings, sparing delicate tissues responsible for sexual functional and bladder control. Patients hardly notice these small surgical sites that heal quickly and leave little scarring. Traditional surgical methods involve lengthy sedation, which can cause adverse effects after surgery. Dr. Samadi exclaims that "approximately 97% of his patients are released from the hospital within 1 day after a robotic prostatectomy. Most recover full sexual function and urinary continence in a relatively short period of time."

Da Vinci robotic surgery merges laparoscopic and open surgical methods for treating prostate cancer. It is to Dr. Samadi's credit that he received special training in France with robotic surgery (
