Looking for a prostate cancer second opinion in the Indianapolis area? Already scheduled for prostate or kidney cancer surgery? Before you proceed, get a second opinion — telehealth second-opinion appointments are guaranteed within 48 hours. Dr. Colin Linke is the highest-volume single-port (SP) robotic urologist in Indiana, specializing in prostate cancer and kidney cancer surgery.
He sees patients at his Fishers office and operates at Ascension St. Vincent Fishers, so patients from Indianapolis, Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville and Greenwood can have their consultation and surgery close to home. Single-port technology uses one small incision for faster recovery, less pain, and better continence outcomes than traditional multi-port robotic surgery.
Most prostate and kidney cancer patients in the Indianapolis area are offered traditional 5–6 incision robotic surgery. The single-port (SP) approach uses one 2-inch incision and is associated with earlier continence return, less pain, and faster recovery. If you’ve been told you need surgery, take 30 minutes to learn whether SP is right for you.
Linke Urology & Robotics is an independent, physician-owned practice with no hospital employment contract. The recommendation you get is about the right operation for you, not about where the surgery gets booked. Second-opinion visits are available in Fishers within a week, or by telehealth within 48 hours.
Tell us the best time to reach you and our Fishers team will call to set up your second-opinion visit. No portal account needed.
Single-port robotic surgery uses one small incision—usually 2 inches—to perform the entire procedure. This approach results in significantly less trauma to surrounding tissue while allowing excellent visualization, precision, and control.
The single-port approach allows prostate cancer removal through one small incision on the lower belly, minimizing trauma and optimizing functional outcomes such as continence and sexual function. This approach is utilized for cancer (radical prostatectomy) or BPH prostate tissue removal (subtotal prostatectomy).
For kidney tumors, the single-port system enables precise excision of the mass while preserving healthy kidney tissue. Most surgeries are performed through a single flank or lower abdominal incision, reducing pain and recovery time.
| Single-port | “Traditional” multi-port | |
|---|---|---|
| Incision | One small incision | 5–6 incisions |
| Pain | Minimal | Moderate |
| Cosmetic | Superior | Multiple scars |
| Recovery | One week | 3–4 weeks |
| Precision | Excellent | Acceptable |
Your second opinion is only as valuable as the surgeon giving it. Dr. Colin Linke is a board-certified urologist and the highest-volume single-port (SP) robotic urologist in Indiana. He sees patients in Fishers and operates at Ascension St. Vincent Fishers. He has performed more than 1,000 robotic procedures in the last six years and focuses specifically on single-port robotic prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for prostate and kidney cancer.
Training & credentialsBeyond his own operating room, Dr. Linke lectures on da Vinci Single Port robotics and has personally trained more than 25 urologists across the country in the technique. When you come to him for a second opinion, you are consulting one of the surgeons who teaches this technology to others.

Yes. A second opinion never delays your care — at Linke Urology & Robotics, a telehealth second-opinion appointment is guaranteed within 48 hours. Reviewing your diagnosis, imaging, and pathology with a high-volume single-port surgeon can confirm your plan or reveal a less-invasive option before you proceed.
Traditional robotic surgery typically uses 5–6 separate incisions. The single-port (SP) approach performs the entire procedure through one small incision — usually about 2 inches. Patients generally experience less pain, better cosmetic results, earlier return of continence, and a faster recovery (about one week versus 3–4 weeks).
A telehealth second-opinion appointment is guaranteed within 48 hours, and getting one will never delay your care. If you already have surgery scheduled elsewhere, there is still time to review your options first.
