Successful Robotic Urological Procedures with the Da Vinci System at IASO Thessalias

Robotic procedures for prostate cancer (radical prostatectomy), kidney cancer and bladder cancer are being successfully performed at IASO Thessalias using the Da Vinci robotic surgical system, marking another important step in the development of robotic surgery in Central Greece and confirming the high scientific expertise of the hospital’s medical teams.

The procedures are performed by Urologic Surgeons Konstantinos Skriapas and Dimitrios Karagiannis, Director and Deputy Director respectively of the A’ Urology Clinic of IASO Thessalias, both of whom possess significant experience in robotic surgery. This technique has been implemented at IASO Thessalias for approximately two and a half years, contributing to the continuous enhancement of the hospital’s surgical capabilities.

For patients undergoing robotic urological procedures, the robotic approach offers important advantages. The high-definition three-dimensional visualization and exceptional precision of movement provided by the Da Vinci system allow the surgeon to perform highly delicate maneuvers in the sensitive anatomical area of the prostate. This technology contributes to better control of the surgical field, reduced blood loss and minimized surgical trauma.

At the same time, in many cases it facilitates faster postoperative recovery and a quicker return to daily activities, while the precision of the robotic technique may also contribute to better preservation of important functions such as continence and erectile function.

The successful performance of robotic procedures on the prostate and kidney confirms the dynamic development of robotic urologic surgery at IASO Thessalias.
