A member asked:
Are the holes made for robotic surgery painful after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minor discomfort: The benefit of any minimally invasive surgery is the small incisions necessary to gain access to the abdominal cavity. Likely the largest incision necessary for a robotic prostatectomy is the incision needed to remove the specimen, no more than an inch or two.
