Ease of Access. You don’t have to navigate a massive complex of offices and hospitals. Gulf Coast Urology has two convenient locations at our affiliated medical centers, one on the campus of St. Joseph Medical Center in Downtown Houston, and one on the campus of Methodist Clear Lake Hospital.
What makes robotic surgery by Dr. Redrow better?
Dr. Redrow has trained and practiced at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Southern California, and USMD Cancer Center - he had been trained by and practiced with Urologists who are pioneers in the field of robotic surgery. He has personally performed over 300 robotic operations since entering practice.
We utilize the DaVinci Xi robots dedicated for urology procedures. These are the latest, and most advanced surgical robots on the market.
Guaranteed less pain and faster recovery. Early Recovery After Surgery or ERAS is a ground breaking technique of starting patients on non-narcotic pain prevention medications before and after surgery. What does that mean for you? A faster, less painful recovery. Most robotic surgery patients are discharged home the day after surgery, and typically take a few prescription pain pills after they get home. Everyone without exception is placed on this regimen.
A more comfortable catheter - 99% of patients who have their prostate surgery by Dr. Redrow will have a suprapubic tube: a catheter placed in the lower abdomen for 1 week after surgery rather than in the penis. This means a more comfortable and faster recovery of urinary control.
