Having to undergo a radical prostatectomy – the removal of the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer – is daunting just to think about. Even with the most qualified surgeon and the greatest medical care, there can be a great deal of information missing in one particular area of treatment: the “Drip Free” portion of the prostatectomy mantra above. The surgery addresses the cancer; we’ve all seen the countless ads for Erectile Dysfunction drugs on any given night watching television; yet there remains a shroud of secrecy around a most inconvenient truth about this surgery – that you may be dripping urine for a very long time, if not for the rest of your life. From dealing with the catheter, to choosing diapers and pads, to regaining continence – it can really be quite a journey far beyond the surgery itself. What you have in your hand now is a “care and feeding” of the male urinary system to guide you through this process and help you regain your quality of life.

“Surgical removal of the prostate can either be done with an open incision, as has been traditionally been done, or with a robotic approach.” Dr. Tewari and Dr, Schlegel, of the Dept. of Urology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, present the two main type sof prostate cancer surgery, as well as explaining the advantages/disadvantages of each.

According to the American Cancer Society 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 35 will die from the disease. When caught early the disease has a 95% 5-year survival rate, and new technologies such as robotic prostatectomy surgery are being used to provide survivors with an increased quality of life post-surgery. Dr. David Samadi, Vice Chair of Urology at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in NY and developer of the “SMART Surgery” technique for robotic prostatectomy has recently performed the very first SMART surgery at Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Israel. Rambam, a pioneer in liver and kidney transplants is now planning to lead the way in technologically advanced prostate removal surgeries with Dr. Samadi’s help. Robotic prostate removal allows an experienced surgeon a more precise method for performing the surgery by providing a field of view unobstructed by blood as well as visual magnification. Dr. Samadi has been collaborating closely with Dr. Jack Baniel of Rabin Medical Center and Dr. Jacob Ramon of Tel Hashomer Hospital to mentor fellow colleagues in Israel on his SMART Surgery Technique.
