Precision Surgery from World-Leading Prostate Cancer Surgeon Dr. David Samadi
If you’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer, choosing the right surgeon and treatment is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. For many men, robotic-assisted prostatectomy offers the best chance at a cure—especially when performed by a trusted expert.
Dr. David B. Samadi is a globally recognized urologic oncologist and one of the most experienced robotic prostate surgeons in the world. His unique technique, known as the SMART (Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique), delivers exceptional cancer control while preserving urinary continence and sexual function.
Robotic-Assisted Prostatectomy in New York City
What Is a Robotic-Assisted Prostatectomy?
A robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the prostate gland using advanced robotic technology. The procedure is commonly used to treat localized prostate cancer (confined to the prostate) and is performed through small incisions with the help of robotic arms controlled by the surgeon.
Unlike traditional open surgery, robotic prostatectomy offers:
- Smaller incisions
- Less blood loss
- Reduced pain and faster recovery
- Greater surgical precision
The SMART Technique: Exclusive to Dr. Samadi
Dr. Samadi developed the SMART technique, a proprietary approach that combines:
- Oncologic precision for complete cancer removal
- Nerve-sparing methods to preserve erectile function
- Bladder control preservation for faster continence recovery
- Decades of robotic surgical experience with over 7,000 successful procedures
The result? Fewer complications, faster return to daily life, and peace of mind knowing you’re in expert hands.
Who Is a Candidate for Robotic Prostatectomy?
You may be a candidate for robotic-assisted prostatectomy if:
- You’ve been diagnosed with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer
- You’re in good overall health and can tolerate surgery
- You want a curative option with the ability to analyze the full cancer pathology
- You’ve been told you’re not a candidate for active surveillance
Not sure if surgery is right for you? Dr. Samadi provides second opinions and helps you evaluate all your treatment options.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Before Surgery:
- Full evaluation of PSA levels, Gleason score, and imaging
- Pre-surgical consultation to explain risks and expectations
- Coordination with your primary care physician or cardiologist, if needed
During Surgery:
- Performed under general anesthesia
- Small abdominal incisions using the da Vinci® robotic system
- Procedure typically lasts 2–3 hours
After Surgery:
- Most patients go home the next day
- Catheter removed in 5–7 days
- Return to light activity within 1–2 weeks
- Most men regain urinary control within weeks and sexual function within months, especially with nerve-sparing surgery
Dr. Samadi and his team will support your full recovery with ongoing check-ins and tailored guidance.
