Case description

This video demonstrates the use of the Harmonic Scalpel for ligation of the vascular pedicles during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (daVinci Prostatectomy). By the use of the Harmonic Scalpel, the use of clips is avoided and the surgeon has complete control of vascular structures.

Video by Dr. Hampton, Director of Robotic Urology at Virginia Commonwealth University Hospitals in Richmond, Virginia.
