The Jackson Clinic is delivering the #1 choice for treatment of localized prostate cancer in the United States, the da Vinci Prostatectomy.  More and more West Tennessee men are choosing The Jackson Clinic’s da Vinci Prostatectomy, a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgical procedure that removes the cancerous prostate gland and related structures.

The potential benefits of The Jackson Clinic’s da Vinci Prostatectomy are:

• Effective Cancer Control:  Studies have shown that experienced surgeons have achieved excellent results in removing prostate cancer without leaving cancer cells behind.
