At Sentara, we are proud to offer the following specialized services for our patients:
- Laparoscopic Surgery — Laparoscopic or minimally-invasive surgery is a specialized surgical technique that uses small incisions and a camera to perform an operation.
- Prostate Cancer Treatment — Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers for older men. Our experienced, multi-disciplinary team will talk with you about your health, your history and your priorities. Together, we will determine whether treatment or active surveillance is best for you.
- da Vinci®? Robot Prostatectomy — One of the most common treatments for prostate cancer involves the surgical removal of the prostate gland, known as a radical prostatectomy. The da Vinci surgical robot has revolutionized prostatectomy surgery by making it a more precise, nerve-sparing and minimally-invasive procedure with excellent results.
- GreenLight™? Laser Therapy — Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects half of all men over the age of 60. GreenLight laser therapy uses laser energy to remove enlarged prostate tissue. It is a minimally-invasive surgical treatment option for BPH that combines the effectiveness of traditional surgical procedures with fewer side effects.
