The ProPep Nerve Monitoring System has been specifically designed for robotic surgery. It is the first real-time nerve identification system that enables robotic surgery.
ProPep Surgical is an independent medical device company located in Austin. It recently declared that its ProPep Nerve Monitoring System is now under clinical study with Dr. Naveen Kella, Director of Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery at St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital and partner at Urology San Antonio. This study focuses on enumerating the significance of ProPep’s Nerve Monitoring System’s utilization. It analyzes the application of the system during robotic prostatectomy for forecasting post-surgery impacts such as urinary continence and erectile function.
The ProPep Nerve Monitoring System is a high precision system with excellent speed and simple application and enables the surgeon to spot the invisible nerves during minimally invasive robotic pelvic surgery.
According to Dr. Kella, a surgeon’s skill is a major factor for obtaining best results. The ProPep Nerve Monitoring System can be used as a tool for nerve location and thereby serves to be an efficient alternative to anatomical cues. Protection and retention of nerves will improve the urinary and sexual function of the patients.
The Chief Operating Officer, Jim Schneider stated that this is the first study hosted by ProPep Surgical with chief robotic prostatectomy surgeons throughout the United States. These studies will provide information on the prospects of real time identification of invisible nerves during robotic prostatectomy surgery with the help of the proprietary ProPep Nerve Monitoring System.
