While a cystectomy can be done through open surgery using one large incision, the da Vinci System is minimally invasive and allows for a few small incisions instead.

The da Vinci System can be used to perform a partial nephrectomy, or kidney-sparing surgery, to remove a small tumor while preserving the remainder of the kidney. This surgery is designed to remove only the diseased part of your kidney and keep the healthy part as is. Your doctor may suggest surgery for a kidney disease or kidney cancer, which typically is an open surgery involving one large incision, while the da Vinci System is a minimally invasive option with a few small incisions.
