• Expertise. Mayo Clinic prostate specialists are leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate conditions.
• Experience. Mayo Clinic urologists have been performing radical prostatectomy procedures for several decades and perform more than 1,200 of these procedures each year. Research suggests that outcomes for people after surgery are directly linked to the number of surgeries the surgeon has performed.
• Newest technology. Mayo Clinic surgeons are leaders in robotic surgery. Using instruments attached to a robot during laparoscopic surgery helps the surgeon make more precise movements with surgical tools than is possible with traditional laparoscopic surgery. Mayo Clinic's prostate care team has surgeons at all three campuses who have many years of experience in prostate treatment in general, and robotic prostatectomy surgery in particular. Mayo Clinic surgeons pioneered the use of robotic prostatectomy surgery and have been performing this surgery successfully since 2001.
• Latest research. Mayo Clinic researchers are actively involved in studying long-term outcomes after radical prostatectomy. For decades, Mayo Clinic has been compiling a database from records of men who have had prostate cancer surgery. This database helps doctors and researchers to track treatments and outcomes, and helps them develop techniques that offer you the best chance for cancer cure and quality of life.
• Comprehensive cancer center. Mayo Clinic Cancer Center meets strict standards for a National Cancer Institute comprehensive cancer center, which recognizes scientific excellence and a multidisciplinary approach to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for cancer by U.S. News & World Report.
