Robotic Surgery FAQ
What is robotic surgery and how is it different from traditional surgery?
Robotic surgery uses the da Vinci Surgical System to perform procedures through a few small incisions instead of one large opening. Dr. Tubre controls robotic instruments from a console, allowing for greater precision, a magnified 3D view, and more controlled movements than traditional open surgery. For patients, this typically means less pain, less blood loss, and a faster recovery.
How long does recovery take after robotic surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure, but many patients go home within 24 to 48 hours after robotic surgery. Most return to light daily activities within one to two weeks and resume full activity within four to six weeks. Dr. Tubre will give you a personalized recovery plan based on your specific procedure.
Is robotic surgery covered by insurance?
Yes, most major insurance plans cover robotic-assisted urologic surgery when it is medically necessary. Our office can help verify your coverage and discuss any out-of-pocket costs before scheduling your procedure.
What urologic procedures can be done robotically?
At Rose City Urology, Dr. Tubre performs robotic partial and total nephrectomy (kidney removal), robotic pyeloplasty, robotic adrenalectomy, robotic ureteral reconstruction, robotic partial cystectomy, and robotic kidney cyst removal. He will recommend the best approach based on your diagnosis.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for robotic surgery?
Most patients with urologic conditions requiring surgery are candidates for a robotic approach. Dr. Tubre evaluates your specific diagnosis, overall health, and treatment goals during a consultation to determine whether robotic surgery is the best option for you.
