Dr. Evan Fynes is a urologist in Port Orange, FL, specializing in the use of the DaVinci Robotic System for urological surgeries. This advanced technology offers a range of benefits over traditional open surgeries, including smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and better visualization of the surgical field. In this article, we will explore the advantages of the DaVinci Robotic System as described by Dr. Fynes, and how it has revolutionized urological surgery.
One of the primary benefits of the DaVinci Robotic System is its minimally invasive approach. With this system, Dr. Fynes can remove the prostate gland using very small incisions. This results in less blood loss and pain for patients compared to traditional open surgeries. Furthermore, it allows surgeons to preserve the nerves responsible for erectile function, providing a better overall outcome for men undergoing prostatectomies.
Dr. Fynes emphasizes that the use of the DaVinci Robotic System can significantly reduce the length of a patient’s hospital stay. Typically, patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery are only in the hospital for about a day, compared to a longer stay required for open procedures. This shortened hospitalization not only reduces the risk of complications but also allows patients to return to their normal activities more quickly.
The DaVinci Robotic System offers superior visualization capabilities, allowing surgeons like Dr. Fynes to see structures in the pelvis with exceptional detail. This magnified view makes it easier to perform precise dissections and ensures a more accurate removal of the prostate gland. The improved visualization contributes to better surgical outcomes and faster recovery times for patients.
Dr. Evan Fynes is a part of the Advanced Urology Institute, the largest urology practice in Florida. This institute is committed to providing the highest quality of care for their patients through the use of cutting-edge technology, such as the DaVinci Robotic System. By choosing the Advanced Urology Institute for your urological needs, you can trust that you are receiving the best possible care from highly skilled and experienced professionals.
TRANSCRIPTION:
Using the robotic system, we’re able to use very small incisions to take the prostate gland out.
A lot of times, we leave the nerves behind to help with, to preserve erectile function for men.
Hello, Dr. Evan Fynnes. I’m a urologist with Advanced Urology Institute.
Surgery itself takes a couple hours to do, depending on surgeon experience.
Usually, they’re only in the hospital for about a day or so.
The advantage of the robot is usually there’s less blood loss, a lot less pain.
And a big thing for the robot is it magnifies everything in the pelvis.
So it’s able to, things that sometimes you’d struggle seeing in an open procedure,
it’s there on this big screen that you’re able to see in fine detail the structures that are in the pelvis, and able to carefully dissect off the prostate and things like that.
