ProPep Surgical
ProPep Surgical is an Austin-based company that develops accurate and easy-to-use instruments which aid surgeons performing minimally invasive robotic surgery to quickly locate important nerve tissue too small to be seen. ProPep Surgical’s innovative technology, the ProPep Nerve Monitoring System (US Patent 8,083,685 B2) is the first, real time nerve monitoring system specifically designed for use during laparoscopic and robotic prostatectomy surgery. This technology provides useful information to surgeons interested in locating nerve pathways which potentially control sexual function and urinary control during surgery, potentially decreasing the risk of damage to the nerves. ProPep Surgical is dedicated to continuing the advancement of their technology and continues to research other areas for its use, including hysterectomy and colonoscopy.

About Us
Assisting Surgeons. Protecting Patients.
The ProPep Nerve Monitoring System is the first FDA-cleared real-time nerve monitoring system for laparoscopic & robotic prostatectomy surgery. This system helps surgeons identify critical non-visible somatic nerves at risk during surgery, thereby allowing the surgeon to make more-informed decisions on how to spare these nerves, potentially minimizing nerve damage.
As a patient you should know that this type of nerve identification technology is standard of care for thyroid and parotid surgery, both cancerous glands that need to be removed with vital nerves at risk in doing so.
