  • Question for Dr. Brown – robotic removal recovery vs. open

    Posted by ajm222 on November 13, 2019 at 7:38 pm

    Just wondering if you thought robotic removal recovery would be any easier than open, or about the same. My placement method was robotic.

    Thanks

    Both methods offer good results.
    I prefer an open technique because I believe that I can better check the spermatic cord, local nerves, and vessels.
    But there are many surgeons who get excellent results with the robot.
    Pick a surgeon that you trust and let him/her pick the method for removal.
    Regards.
