Usually honesty and directness works best in these situations. Any ethical professional should understand your desire to have a procedure as complicated and important as a radical prostatectomy performed by the most experienced specialist you can find. He would probably do the same were it him.
The chief of surgery of Memorial Sloan Kettering who was the foremost open prostatectomy surgeon but never transitioned to the robotic, hired the surgeon who pioneered the de vinci robotic procedure in Paris to head his minimally invasive prostate program because he had performed thousands of robotic procedures.
Any surgeon who has only performed 20 robotics is at the beginning of his learning curve and should understand why you choose a more experienced specialist.
All the hugs and warm feelings can't compensate for a less than optimal outcome.
While seeking a more experienced robotic surgeon you might want to inquire about the laparascopic procedure. Its the foreunner of the de vinci robotic and many of the top robotic experts are returning to the laparoscopic RP. The reason is that it has all the advantages of the robotic i.e.; minimally invasive, little blood loss, quick recovery. While the robot is of greater advantage to the surgeon the laparoscopic is of greater advantage to the patient because it allows the experienced surgeon more direct tactile feel with the instruments rather than manipulating the robot from a distance.
At least thats the opinion of Dr. Bertrand Guillonneau who developed the robotic prostatectomy in Paris and now heads up the prostate surgery program at Sloan-Kettering in NY. He now only performs the robotic if the patient insists and recommends the laparoscopic as the procedure of choice.
Good Luck, Bob
