Moffitt’s tumor board may recommend the removal of the prostate through surgery, such as laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, if a patient’s cancer is found to be confined within the gland. This surgery offers many advantages over open, retropubic and perineal approaches to prostate cancer surgery, such as:

Smaller incisions -- Unlike traditional approaches, which generally require large incisions, laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques that involve the use of small, specialized surgical tools, which are inserted through tiny incisions to remove the prostate.
Faster recovery -- Due to the minimally invasive nature of this surgery, hospital stays are often reduced to as little as one day, and recovery times are usually significantly shorter.
Higher surgical precision and maneuverability -- Technological advances in surgery allow our surgeons to perform highly refined, robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

At Moffitt, we understand that dealing with prostate cancer can be difficult. In order to ease the travel burdens on our out-of-town patients, we have partnered with several nearby hotels. Patients can take advantage of special rates offered by our partner locations, and also feel confident in knowing that the management and staff at these hotels adhere to the strict standards of hygiene and infection control that Moffitt upholds.
