Nyu Langone Hospital—suffolk Performs First Robotic Cancer Surgeries

Continuing its translator since joining NYU Langone Health, nan operative squad astatine NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk precocious performed 4 analyzable robotic surgeries that had ne'er been offered astatine nan installation before, 3 of which successfully removed cancerous tumors from patients. These procedures people a important milestone for nan infirmary and, much importantly, nan patients who are now capable to person innovative, high-quality surgical attraction correct successful their community.

These highly analyzable robotic surgeries are transforming diligent care, enabling greater precision, faster betterment times, and amended outcomes. The procedures are portion of nan much than 2,000 robotic surgeries we've performed connected campus, a milestone made imaginable by nan unthinkable support of our full wellness system. That support is nan driving unit down delivering world-class attraction to nan residents of Suffolk County."

Megan D. Winner, MD, main of room astatine NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk, performed 3 of nan procedures:

• A minimally invasive robotic Whipple procedure, besides called a pancreaticoduodenectomy, was performed connected a diligent pinch pancreatic cancer. The process involves removing nan caput of nan pancreas, portion of nan mini intestine, nan gallbladder, and nan bile duct while preserving shared humor vessels, and past rebuilding a functional digestive system. The diligent was discharged location earlier than expected and is making an awesome recovery.
• A robotic proximal gastrectomy was performed for early-stage gastric (stomach) cancer, preserving patient tummy insubstantial and avoiding full removal. This minimally invasive, organ-preserving attack reduces postoperative weight nonaccomplishment and dietary issues. The diligent was discharged conscionable 2 days aft surgery, is considered cured, and has knowledgeable nary dietary restrictions aliases weight-related broadside effects.
• A robotic process was performed to dainty chronic pancreatitis caused by a pancreatic duct obstruction, creating a caller drainage pathway betwixt nan pancreas and mini intestine. This bypassed a pancreatic stone, preserved pancreatic function, and resolved nan patient's pancreatitis-related pain.

Ryan J. Chuang, MD, aesculapian head of nan inpatient urology work astatine NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk, successfully performed nan first robotic-assisted retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy astatine nan hospital. The procedure, attended remotely by Anthony Corcoran, MD, head of urologic oncology astatine NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, wholly removed a cancerous wide connected a kidney, while preserving astir each nan affected kidney. The retroperitoneal approach, which involves accessing nan kidney done nan abstraction down nan abdominal cavity wherever nan kidneys are located, is unsocial moreover among partial nephrectomies and is often little invasive than nan accepted robotic approach. The diligent was discharged nan adjacent day.

"NYU Langone continues to lead nan region successful cutting-edge, high-quality crab care, and I'm honored to lead nan squad delivering this level of excellence to Suffolk County," said Dr. Winner. "Using precocious robotic techniques, we tin precisely target crab while preserving patient insubstantial done minimally invasive procedures that importantly trim nan wide effect of room connected our patients."

Since its affiliation pinch NYU Langone Health began successful March 2022, surgical cases and different operating room procedures person accrued by much than 80 percent. In addition, building is underway connected a caller ambulatory room halfway connected Patchogue's Main Street to heighten entree to surgical services successful nan community. Set to unfastened successful 2026, nan state-of-the-art installation will person six operating rooms and 4 process rooms successful nan bosom of downtown Patchogue.
