Minimally invasive surgery
has become standard. But
not all minimally invasive
surgery is the same. Robotic
surgery, as performed by
Cleveland Clinic urologists,
is the most precise form.
Cleveland Clinic was
one of the first in the United Barbara Ercole, M.D.
States to perform robotic
prostate removal. Now Cleveland Clinic surgeons use
robotic surgery to treat all types of urologic cancers, at
locations close to your home. Roberta Golub, Dr. Evelyn Hillary Gumbel, Susan Lilly Bates, Mackenzie
“We can use robotic instruments to do many different types Higgins Johnson Erin and Barbara McGould O’Leary
of urologic surgery,” says Barbara Ercole, M.D., a Cleveland
Clinic Florida urologist who sees patients in Weston and Coral
Springs. “We rarely need to make large incisions anymore.”
How is robotic surgery different? Dr. Ercole explains that
standard minimally invasive surgery – sometimes called
laparoscopic surgery – involves tiny cuts in your abdomen.
Through these “ports,” surgeons insert slender instruments
and manipulate these instruments using their hands.
Robotic surgery uses the same ports. However, surgeons
sit at a console, carefully controlling robotic instruments. A
camera displays a close-up, 3-D view of the patient.
“The robot allows us to mimic the motion of the human
hand through very small incisions,” says Dr. Ercole.
“Because surgeons can do everything through tiny holes in Kristi Cauley, Patty McDonald, Kathy Briana Beaty, Laura Russell, Allison
