Catheter Free Robotic Prostatectomy: Advanced Prostate Cancer Surgery at UPNT

Comfortable, Minimally Invasive Surgery with Expert Robotic Surgeons

At Urology Partners of North Texas (UPNT), we specialize in Catheter Free Robotic Prostatectomy, an advanced procedure for prostate cancer surgery that eliminates the need for a traditional urinary catheter for most patients. Instead, a small suprapubic tube is placed in the lower abdomen, providing greater comfort and faster recovery compared to standard methods.
