What his role is in your treatment
- Before you travel
Your pathology, PSA and imaging reports are reviewed, you are told whether robotic surgery is an option, and a surgery date is set from your results.
- In Antalya
You meet him in person the day before surgery. He performs the operation himself, at the console of the da Vinci Xi system, for the whole procedure.
- After you fly home
You take a medical report for your own urologist or family doctor, so that your follow-up can continue at home.
