Dr. Warren Bromberg and Dr. Jerald Wishner are Co-Directors of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Program.

Dr. Bromberg explains, "At Northern Westchester Hospital, we have been at the forefront of performing minimally invasive surgery using the da Vinci® Surgical System.  The real beauty of it is that it enhances our view of the inside of the body because it has a stereoscopic camera which provides a magnified view and the specialized robotic instruments provide superior dexterity."

Other benefits of minimally invasive surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System include:

• Removal of kidney tumors without sacrificing the entire kidney
• Lower incidence of impotence and incontinence from a prostatectomy

"The results are terrific," reports Dr. Bromberg. "Using the da Vinci® Surgical System doesn't compromise the surgical results of removing cancer or reconstructing the urinary tract. In fact, the results are better."
