The last decade has seen many advances in the field of surgery. Even more rapidly have been the advances and expanded applications of minimally invasive surgery. The introduction of the da Vinci robot has increased patient accessibility to advanced laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Jonathan Bernie at UROLOGY ASSOCIATES OF NORWALK is a Board Certified Urologist who is Fellowship Trained in Advanced Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgery. He is the Director of Robotic Surgery at Norwalk Hospital and is the most experienced urologic robotic surgeon in Fairfield County, performing hundreds of successful operations at both Norwalk and Bridgeport Hospitals. Robotic (da Vinci) prostatectomy is a minimally invasive alternative for treatment of localized prostate cancer.
The da Vinci robot couples the magnified 3D high-definition optics of the robotic camera with the increased control and dexterity of the robotic instruments. This allows for a precise cancer operation through smaller incisions with meticulous preservation of normal tissue with less pain & blood loss. All of these promote better & more rapid return of potency and urinary continence. Dr. Bernie and Norwalk Hospital received the HealthGrades Clinical Excellence award for prostatectomy in both 2010 and 2011.
