Melbourne’s most experienced robotic surgeon

Assoc Prof Daniel Moon offers a personal service to deliver high quality, minimally invasive surgery for prostate cancer and kidney cancer.

Robotic Prostate Cancer Removal

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

A further advancement in key-hole surgery is the development of a robotic system that significantly improves the visualization and precision of the procedure.

This system replicates the surgeon’s hand movements with instruments that move in all directions and eliminate tremor, with a magnified, high definition 3D image of the surgical field.

Robotic radical prostatectomy is performed for cancer and involves removal of the entire prostate and seminal vesicles, with preservation of the main urinary sphincter muscle. The urethra is then rejoined to the bladder over a urethral catheter. The erectile nerves which run alongside the back of the prostate on both sides can be preserved if the cancer is not involving these structures.

Laparoscopic and robotic surgery

To avoid a large incision to remove the kidney tumour, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery has steadily replaced open surgery in most situations.

Robotic surgery is a form of keyhole surgery using more sophisticated instruments and three-dimensional cameras to remove just the tumour itself, reconstructing and preserving the kidney.
