For men who need surgical treatment, we perform robot assisted radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci surgical system at Emplify Health (Bellin) in Green Bay. Our surgeons have performed over 2,000 robotic prostatectomies combined, making us the most experienced prostate cancer surgery team in the region. Surgical volume matters: studies consistently show that higher volume surgeons achieve better outcomes in cancer control, continence recovery, and preservation of sexual function. The procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours and includes pelvic lymph node dissection when indicated. When appropriate based on the cancer location and grade, our surgeons perform nerve sparing surgery to maximize the chance of preserving erectile function after recovery. Most patients spend one night in the hospital and go home the following morning.
We also work closely with independent radiation oncologists and the Emplify system to offer external beam radiation therapy and HDR (high dose rate) brachytherapy. For select patients, we offer cryotherapy (freezing of the prostate) as both a primary treatment and as salvage therapy for recurrent cancer. We are the only practice in the region to provide cryotherapy and have treated several hundred patients.
