Dr. O’Shaughnessy First in Twin Cities to Use New Robotic Technology

Minnesota Urology is committed to being at the forefront of medical technology, and our physicians are often the first to use the latest innovations to treat their patients. Dr. Matthew O’Shaughnessy was recently the first in the Twin Cities area to utilize one of the most advanced robotic surgery systems available – the Da Vinci 5.

Dr. O’Shaugnessy used the Da Vinci 5 to perform a prostatectomy (prostate removal), a surgery that requires the utmost precision. The Da Vinci 5 gives the surgeon greater control than previous robotic technology, allowing an unmatched, realistic feeling for the surgeon. Because of the high computational power and streamlined features, the surgeon doesn’t have to wait for adjustments to be made mid-surgery. In addition to greater control, this makes procedures faster for patients.

We are proud to offer this advanced technology at Minnesota Urology to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.

If you need surgery and want to know if robotic surgery with the Da Vinci 5 is right for you, don’t delay – schedule an appointment today!
