Robotic prostatectomy surgeon recommendation Atlanta GA

LyricW

I have asymptomatic 6X.9 pi Rad 4 mri lesion of left central prostate not involving capsule or nodes. I am awaiting biopsy but PSA 5.0. I am mid 60s & prefer robotic surgery. I want a surgeon who does many cases & can travel but live Atlanta area. Any help?

Ask the urologist who will do the biopsies. He/She is likely to want to do the surgery, but don't rely on that opinion.

I highly recommend that you also look into the many radiation therapies that might be applicable. However, we are both ahead of the facts... The biopsy result will tell us more.

Whatever you decide, I would not rush your decision. Although the gold standard is surgery, there can be life-changing side effects.

I researched ablative (TULSA & HIFU) & Proton therapy. Biopsy results should be available in day or 2 & I can seek couple of consults.

Thank you for reply.

Here is where most of my friends with prostate issues have gone for surgery:
