"HTLS 2017 Speaker Dr. Ash Tewari: Champion of Robotic Surgery"
As a part of the Mount Sinai Health System that includes seven hospitals, Ashutosh Tewari, MBBS, MCh, professor and system chair of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s days are packed. He has introduced key innovations in robotic surgery for prostate cancer and prostatectomies by using a minimally invasive approach that minimizes side-effects associated with traditional ‘open’ surgery. While the 3D robotic procedure magnifies and makes the operating field more visible to the surgeon, it reduces pain, blood loss, scarring and post-surgery complications. Dr. Tewari has performed more than 5,500 robotic prostate cancer surgeries and made seminal contributions on various aspects of prostate cancer research, including surgical prostate anatomy, genetic risk profiling, epidemiology, racial disparities, risk modeling and survivorship issues. Among his newer initiatives is teaming up with other experts to decipher the influence of mind body therapies such as meditation, yoga, breathing and diet on cancer progression.
