Dr. Donald Sonn: Fellow of the American
College of Surgeons
A leading physician specializing in urologist
, Dr. Donald Sonn is a Fellow of the
American College of Surgeons. For nearly
twenty years, Sonn has been practicing at
the Urology Group of Western New England
in Springfield, Massachusetts. An advocate
of minimally invasive surgical techniques,
Dr. Donald Sonn notes that the techniques,
many of which he is trained in, benefit the
patient in a variety of ways. Patients who
opt for a minimally invasive surgery spend
less time in the hospital if any time at all,
recovery at a faster pace, and experience
less scarring.
Dr. Donald Sonn has used the GreenLight Laser Surgery and the da Vinci Robotic
Surgical system in treating his patients. For patients with an enlarged prostate, known
in the medical field as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, the GreenLight Laser
Surgery is what Dr. Donald Sonn sued to help treat the condition.
As men grow older, their likelihood
of having an enlarged prostate
grows. Nearly all of men over the
age of eighty experience BPH on
one level or another. However,
traces of enlarged prostate can be
noticed as early as forty in men. Dr.
Donald Sonn and other physicians
recommend patients visiting their
personal doctor to stay informed
and knowledgeable about the
condition that can be in their body.
GreenLight Laser Surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that can treat BPH. Dr.
Donald Sonn called this surgery, “Remarkable technology.” In the procedure, a small
fiber is inserted into the urethra of the patient; the fiber then delivers high-powered
laser energy, which actually vaporizes the prostate tissue that is continual till the
affected tissue has been completed removed. The GreenLight Laser Surgery is
statistically more effective than a traditional surgery. Once the surgical procedure is
complete, the patient is able to return to their national flow of urine once fully
recovering. Most patients of Dr. Donald Sonn report that they are symptoms of BPH
are relieved.
The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is another
minimally invasive surgical procedure. Treating
patients with prostate cancer, this procedure has
also been used by Dr. Donald Sonn for the benefit of
his patients. Prostate cancer is a far more serious
condition in the prostate that is one of the most
common non-skin cancers. In the United State,
prostate cancer affects about one out every seven
men. Though the statistics can be frightening,
physicians like Dr. Donald Sonn and minimally
invasive surgeries like the da Vinci Robotic Surgical
System are they to help treat the patients and do
their best to remove the cancer from the body.
