About this animation
Understanding Your Single-Port (SP) Transvesical Prostatectomy
This animation walks through how Dr. Linke removes prostate cancer using single-port robotic surgery through one small incision made directly into the bladder. It shows each stage of the procedure — the single point of entry, how the robot works inside the bladder without disturbing the surrounding abdominal organs, how the nerves for erectile function and the muscles for bladder control are preserved whenever cancer control allows, and how the bladder is reconnected afterward. The goal is to help you understand what happens during surgery and why this approach supports a faster, more comfortable recovery.
