As a national leader in robotic surgery, the Vattikuti Urology Institute offers the experience and expertise held by few others across the country. Robotic surgery for bladder cancer has been provided at Henry Ford Hospital since 2003. This minimally invasive, advanced surgical approach benefits patients with bladder cancer by decreasing overall complications and promoting faster healing and recovery. At Henry Ford, we use the daVinci Surgical System.
Robotic surgery for bladder cancer is one part of the Vattikuti Urology Institute's comprehensive program. The complete range of treatment options includes all forms of surgery (robotic and standard open surgery with bladder reconstruction at the same time), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and advanced research therapies. The team of specially trained experts in bladder cancer at the Vattikuti Urology Institute provides each patient a personalized treatment plan. Specialists in urologic oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, nursing, social work, and others work together to develop the best treatment plan for every patient with bladder cancer.
