Robotic surgery is a treatment option for patients diagnosed with prostate, bladder and kidney cancers. This advanced technology allows the surgeon to perform complex surgeries with fewer and smaller incisions, which gives patients briefer hospital stays and a shorter recovery time. Most patients return to work in two to four weeks after surgery.

At USF Health, our team of urologic oncology surgeons are specially trained to provide state-of-art robotic surgery that helps get patients back to their busy lives.
