UnityPoint Health Finley Hospital and Dr. Alex M. Horchak are pleased to offer urological care for patients in Dubuque and surrounding communities.

Dr. Horchak performs robotic-assisted laparoscopic urology procedures in Dubuque. As the first hospital in the area to offer the da Vinci Surgical System for urologic conditions, UnityPoint Health continues to lead the way in advanced surgical procedures.
Da Vinci Surgery is a less invasive technique than traditional surgery. With da Vinci Surgery, the incisions made by the surgeon are much smaller than the cuts made by traditional or open surgery.
Minimally invasive surgery offers:
• A shorter hospital stay
• Less blood loss
• Fewer complications
• Less need for pain medicine
• A faster recovery
• Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
The da Vinci Surgical System is a tool that utilizes advanced, robotic technologies, which assist the surgeon and does not act on its own.
The da Vinci prostatectomy instruments have revolutionized the way prostate cancer surgery is performed. Approximately 90 percent of all prostates surgically removed for cancer in this country are now done with the da Vinci Surgical System. We are also seeing increased usage of the da Vinci Surgical System for kidney and bladder operations.

Finding out surgery is needed can be unsettling and even frightening. Discussing all surgical options with your doctor is an important step in understanding options. If you doctor recommends da Vinci surgery as one of your options for urologic procedures, you no longer have to leave Dubuque.
