First Transvesical Prostatecomy in our Region!

Congratulations to Charles Daniel, M.D., a Carilion Urologist for performing the first simple transvesical prostatectomy in our region, a procedure that treats various urologic conditions. It was done using the single-port da Vinci robot, a minimally invasive technique that results in fewer incisions and a quicker recovery time. Carilion’s Urology team continues to lead the way in offering cutting-edge treatments. Visit the Urology page on our website to learn more about our Urology team.
