Robotic Surgical Advances for Prostatectomies

Host: Bruce Bloom, DDS, JD Guest: Ash Tewari, MD Does robotic surgery for radical prostatectomy provide better outcomes? Our guest Dr. Tewari Ash, director of robotic prostatectomy and prostate cancer-urologic oncology outcomes at Brady Urology Institute and associate professor of associate professor of public health and outcomes in the Department of Public Health and Outcomes at The Weill Medical College of Cornell University talks with host Dr. Bruce Bloom about the history, current practice and future of robotic surgery. The hope is that one day the real time information gathered by the computer during the surgery will provide the surgeon with feedback that can enable them to do an even better job at removing the cancer.
