Dr. Badani on the Benefits of Robotic Surgery for Kidney Cancer

Ketan K. Badani, MD, professor of Urology at Mount Sinai Hospital, discusses the benefits of performing a partial robotic nephrectomy for patients with kidney cancer.

Having a minimally invasive surgery gives patients a quicker recovery time with less pain involved, explains Badani.

Additionally, the surgery is able to protect normal kidney function, which benefits the kidney over a longer period of time, states Badani.
