"Dr. Badani On Determining Which Patients With RCC Will Receive Robotic Surgery"
Ketan K. Badani, MD, professor of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and vice chairman of urology for the Mount Sinai Health System, discusses how to determine which renal cell carcinoma patients will benefit from robotic surgery. Who receives robotic surgery for RCC remains in the hands of the physician, explains Dr. Badani. Doing an open partial nephrectomy, a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, or a robotic partial nephrectomy are all good options when treating a patient. As a physician’s experience matures with robotic surgery, they will begin to see advantages of the procedure but should offer what they feel comfortable with, says Dr. Badani.
