MKMG Uses Da Vinci Robot for Treatment of Kidney Conditions

The Mount Kisco Medical Group is pleased to offer the Da Vinci robot for Kidney Surgery.  MKMG urologists are some of the only urologists in the metropolitan New York region using this advanced minimally invasive technique to treat kidney cancer and to repair congenital kidney anomalies.

Da Vinci Surgery is setting a new standard for the treatment of kidney conditions.  Kidney surgery is traditionally performed using an open approach, which requires a large incision, or laparoscopically using smaller openings.    Da Vinci Surgery for kidney conditions incorporates the best of both approaches. Using state-of-the-art 3-D high definition optical magnification and computer-assisted specialized instrumentation the Da Vinci system allows unsurpassed visualization and surgical dexterity.   

Most often now, cancers can be safely and successfully fully removed while sparing normal kidney tissue.  The long-term benefits of preserving kidney function are clear.

Da Vinci Surgery uses the most advanced technology to help doctors perform a more precise operation than the conventional instrumentation allows.  It offers numerous potential benefits over conventional and laparoscopic surgery including:

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Less risk of infection
• Less scarring
• Shorter hospital stay
• Shorter recovery time
• Increased potential for kidney preservation in certain prescribed cancer operations
• Better clinical outcomes in many cases

This cutting edge technology is a huge advantage to our community.  For more information or to schedule an appointment please call Dr. Warren Bromberg at 914-242-1520.
