Two forms of high technology will join together this January to allow the public and physicians to view a less invasive surgery for prostate cancer from the comfort of their home or office. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will host a live webcast of a radical laparoscopic prostatectomy, on Thursday, January 19, 2006, at 4:30 p.m., using futuristic, state-of-the art robotic technology.
“Webcast viewers will see how laparoscopic surgery offers potential advantages to patients, including less trauma through smaller incisions, faster recovery and less overall blood loss during surgery,” said Leonard Gomella, M.D., FACS, chair of Urology and Bernard Godwin, Jr. Professor of Prostate Cancer, Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and director of Urologic Oncology, Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. “We were the first institution in the Delaware Valley to offer laparoscopic prostatectomy in 2000”.
