Procedures Performed
Robotics
Robotic Nephrectomy
Partial or total removal of the kidney to treat tumors, prioritizing maximum preservation of kidney function through minimal incisions.
High Complexity
Robotic Cystectomy
Advanced treatment for invasive bladder cancer, including intracorporeal orthotopic reconstruction using the robotic system.
Recovery Timeline
1 to 3 Days
Hospital Discharge
Robotic precision drastically reduces surgical trauma. The vast majority of patients are discharged on the same day or the day after the procedure.
1 to 2 Weeks
Return to Light Activities
Cleared for light walks and resuming basic daily routines at home, while still avoiding strenuous physical effort and heavy lifting.
2 to 3 Weeks
Return to Work
For jobs that do not require heavy physical effort (such as office work), patients are usually able to return to their normal working hours.
4 to 6 Weeks
Normal Life
Medical clearance for a gradual return to regular physical activity, sports and a full routine, consolidating a successful recovery.

What our patients say
"Dr. Bruno made me feel very confident from the very first consultation. My robotic prostate surgery was a success and my recovery was extremely fast, exceeding my expectations."
Carlos Mendes
Google review
"Unmatched professionalism. The Uro Onco team was by my side at every stage. Less than 24 hours after the nephrectomy, I was already feeling very well."
Roberto Almeida
Doctoralia review
"I was diagnosed and operated on in the same month. The technology used (Da Vinci) made all the difference. No severe pain, and I am already back to my normal life."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is robotic surgery in urology?
Robotic urologic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed with the Da Vinci robot, offering greater precision, less bleeding and faster recovery compared with open surgery. The surgeon controls the robotic arms from the console with high-definition 3D visualization.
Which procedures can be performed with the Da Vinci robot?
The main procedures include robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer, robotic nephrectomy for kidney tumors, robotic cystectomy for bladder cancer and lymphadenectomy to remove lymph nodes. All with excellent oncologic outcomes.
How long does the procedure take?
The time varies with the complexity of the case. A robotic prostatectomy usually takes 2 to 3 hours. A nephrectomy can take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Dr. Bruno Benigno will discuss the specific estimated time during the initial consultation.
Is robotic surgery covered by health insurance?
Many health insurance plans cover robotic urologic surgery, especially for cancer cases. We recommend contacting your insurer to confirm the specific coverage of your plan. The Uro Onco team assists you throughout this administrative process.
