Robotic-assisted surgery for urology
Supporting precision where it matters most
Urological procedures often involve delicate structures that are closely linked to everyday function and quality of life. Robotic-assisted surgery may offer a more controlled and precise approach, helping your surgeon operate with confidence in even the most complex areas.
At Spire Healthcare, we focus on delivering care that supports both effective treatment and a smoother recovery.
How robotic-assisted surgery can help
Personalised planning
Enhanced precision
Robotic guidance allows for careful, controlled movements in confined areas of the body
Supporting function
Where clinically appropriate, precision surgery can help protect important urinary and sexual function
Technology used in urological robotic-assisted surgery
At Spire Healthcare, many urological procedures are performed using the da Vinci robotic-assisted system.
da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgery system
This advanced technology provides your surgeon with a high-definition, magnified 3D view and highly controlled instruments, allowing them to operate with precision in delicate and complex areas of the body.
Aquablation® therapy
Aquablation® therapy combines robotic technology to guide a heat-free waterjet for precise tissue removal providing precise, consistent and long-term relief no matter how large your prostate is. Aquablation therapy carries a low risk of common side effects typically associated with alternative BPH treatments, such as loss of sexual function and incontinence.
