"I used to do a lot of open surgery operations," he said. "Once I learned how to use the robot, I became able to do most of my big operations, including prostate cancer operations, in a way that is minimally invasive. With smaller incisions, there is a lot less pain for patients, as well as a quicker recovery. "

We had our train visits with the daVinci S last week.
I was at the Newark Penn Station on Wednesday and we had a nice crowd stop by and try the daVinci S.

I am very pleased to announce a very nice upgrade to the robotic surgery blog.
I have installed a plugin that allows users who make comments to blog entries to subscribe to that entry.

You can then receive an email if someone else makes additional comments.

You will get an email to confirm that you did indeed, sign up for the entry and can easily cancel the subscription to the entry with each reminder.

Thanks to gruntdoc for introducing me to this feature from everitz.

I am starting a robotic surgery newsletter that can be accessed through the blog or my website. The newsletter is intended for primary care doctors, but is useful for general information for people intersted in robotic surgery and prostate cancer.

Comments are appreciated.

I am very pleased to announce that the robotic surgery blog will be adding a third robotic surgeon.
Dr. Jay Yew of Sharp Rees-Stealy Urology in San Diego California will be the third urologist to blog at the robotic surgery blog. Dr Yew has performed hundreds of da Vinci prostatectomies and is also a pioneer in advanced robotic surgery.
