Robotic Surgery in Urology in Rabat: What Patients Should Know Before Deciding

The word 'robot' can be intimidating or misleading. In robot-assisted surgery, the machine does not operate autonomously. The surgeon remains fully in control throughout the entire procedure. The robotic platform is an advanced master-slave instrument translating surgeon gestures into micro-movements through tiny incisions with high-definition 3D magnification. The essential question is not 'is the robot better?', but 'is this approach appropriate for my condition, and why?'

Penile prosthesis: restoring an erection in severe erectile dysfunction

When drug treatments for erectile dysfunction are no longer enough or are contraindicated, the penile prosthesis restores rigidity on demand. It is a device implanted in the penis, activated by the patient at the time of intercourse. Sensitivity, orgasm and ejaculation are not changed by the implant. The actual indication is decided in consultation, after a full assessment and a discussion of expectations.

Artificial urinary sphincter: treating severe urinary incontinence in men

After prostate surgery, particularly prostatectomy, some men have persistent, severe stress urinary incontinence. When pelvic floor rehabilitation and other treatments are not enough, the artificial urinary sphincter is the reference treatment for severe incontinence. This fully implanted device keeps the urethra closed at rest and opens on demand, by simply pressing a pump, to allow urination. The actual indication is decided in consultation, after quantifying the incontinence and assessing bladder function.
