1:03:00  - 4 years ago
The Department of Urology at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City has continued in its role as a pioneer in using groundbreaking technology to provide superior outcomes for its patients. In 2001, the prostate cancer team within the Beth Israel urology department performed the first laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Manhattan using minimally invasive robotic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical Systemâ ¢. Beth Israelâ s Caner Dinlenc, MD, Physician-In-Charge of Endourology is an expert in using the da Vinci system and has performed several hundred cases to date. â The use of this system has become more widespread over the past several years and we are excited to be using this state-of-the-art technology at Beth Israel for radical prostate removal surgery,â ? says Dr. Dinlenc. â Instead of weeks, recovery time can be reduced to days. It is feasible for patients who have received radical prostatectomies to be back at work within two weeks following the procedure.â ?
