Drs. Genden and Tewari - "Mount Sinai Establishes Robotics Institute (MSRI)"
Since the first minimally invasive robotic surgery to treat head and neck cancer at Mount Sinai in 2008 surgeons at Mount Sinai have been on the forefront of pioneering robotic surgery techniques. Showcasing the cumulative experience of these surgeons and our multidisciplinary teams, The Mount Sinai Robotics Institute (MSRI) has been established at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to advance patient care and augment research and training. “In the past, these tumors presented a significant challenge to reach, and traditionally were removed by surgeons through a large incision stemming from the top of the lip to the throat. However, the advent of robotic technology brought about a momentous paradigm shift in the removal of tumors and the benefits it delivers to patients,” says Dr. Genden. “Our studies have shown that minimally invasive robotic surgery has resulted in fewer days in the hospitals and fewer complications for patients.” Learn more
