Dr David Samadi's
SMART Surgery For Prostate Cancer

Dr Samadi’s technique builds on oncologic principles learned with open radical prostatectomy and transferred to a robotic approach.

In SMART technique he recreates the classic open anatomic RRP technique as closely as possible on the robotic platform.

Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the prostate gland of the male reproductive system. It is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in American men, over the age of 50. More than 200,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. As with most cancers, prostate cancer is not contagious. Recently, the overall 5-year survival rates for all stages of prostate cancer have increased from 69% to nearly 100%.

This change is a result of early detection and better treatment methods, in particular minimally invasive robotic surgery. Urologists like Dr. David Samadi have played a major part in raising awareness for the disease and saved thousands of lives by convincing men to take the PSA test.

Dr. Samadi's focus when treating prostate cancer lies in making sure his patients preserve the same quality of life as before the surgery. Erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence are issues that men face when the prostate gland is removed surgically. This is why David Samadi's SMART technique is so appreciated: the incisions are minimal, recovery is fast and the sexual and urinary nerves are barely touched due to the precision of the robotic surgical arms.

Smart surgery

SMART Surgery Technique (Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique). Having completed fellowship training in both urologic oncology and laparoscopy, Dr Samadi’s technique builds on oncologic principles learned with open radical prostatectomy and transferred to a robotic approach.

In SMART technique he recreates the classic open anatomic RRP technique as closely as possible on the robotic platform. He does not view the robot as a good unto itself, but, rather, as a tool that permits enhanced anatomic radical prostatectomy by improving vision and allowing angles of dissection not possible with open or straight laparoscopic instruments.

Treatment Trifecta

Three is a very important number to Dr. David Samadi, Urologic Oncology Expert and Robotic Surgeon in New York City. Considered a mystical number, Samadi has incorporated this number in his robotic prostatectomy practice. Having performed over 7,000+ successful prostate cancer treatments in his work, Samadi’s experience is unparalleled.

Thanks to three fellowships, he is not only an accomplished robotic surgeon, he is also expertly trained in open and laparoscopic surgery. Samadi refers to himself as "three surgeons in one head,” which is crucial in surgery, if he needed to switch from one type of surgery to another.
