Robotic Urologic Oncology · Seattle
Advanced cancer surgery.
One small incision.
I'm Dr. Saji, a urologic surgeon at Swedish in Seattle. I treat prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer with single-port robotic surgery — and I believe you deserve to understand your operation as well as your surgeon does.
Appointments: (206) 386-6266
Trained at pioneering institutions
Training in single-port robotic surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, and in robotics and laparoscopy at Keck Hospital of USC.
Comprehensive robotic surgery
Robotic surgical care for kidney, bladder, and prostate conditions, and for all other intra-abdominal pathologies.
Beyond cancer
Aquablation therapy for enlarged prostate, kidney stone treatment, and general urologic care for patients across Washington and the Pacific Northwest.
What I treat
Start with your diagnosis
Each guide below explains the condition, who is a candidate for surgery, exactly how the operation works, and what recovery genuinely looks like.
Prostate Cancer
Single-port robotic radical prostatectomy through one hidden incision — cancer control first, with a plan for your recovery of continence and function.
Read the surgery guide → 02Kidney Cancer
Single-port partial nephrectomy through one small incision — from behind the abdomen, saving the kidney whenever possible.
Read the surgery guide → 03Bladder Cancer
Robotic radical cystectomy with fully intracorporeal urinary diversion — the entire reconstruction completed through small incisions.
Coming soon → 04Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Aquablation therapy for moderate glands — and for very large prostates, single-port robotic simple prostatectomy through one small incision.
Read the surgery guides → 05Kidney Stones & General Urology
Comprehensive stone treatment and everyday urologic care, from evaluation through prevention.
Coming soon →The single-port difference
Five or six incisions. Or one.
Most robotic surgery in the U.S. is performed through five or six separate incisions across the abdomen. The da Vinci SP system accomplishes the same operation through a single small incision about a centimeter below the navel — in my experience, that means less pain, fewer days on pain medication, and a faster return to your life.
The robot never operates on you. I control every movement from a console beside you — it simply gives me steadier hands and better eyes.

For referring physicians
I welcome referrals for localized and locally advanced prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer, complex BPH, and stone disease — and I make a point of rapid access for new cancer diagnoses and clear communication back to your office.
