Dr. David Samadi to Perform Robotic Live Prostatectomy Surgery in Netherlands

Dr. David Samadi will be performing live robotic prostatectomy surgery during his stay in Netherlands at the Dutch Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center.

He will also be sharing his expertise and knowledge on prostate cancer surgery to the specialists at Netherlands. He will be using Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique (SMART) to treat a number of patients suffering from prostate cancer. Dr. Samadi is the Vice Chairman of the Department of Urology and heads the Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery Department at the Mount Sinai Medical Center.

He will be teaming up with a specialist in MRI of Urogenital Diseases, Dr. Jelle Barentsz, at the Dutch Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center in Netherlands. Dr. Barentsz will be employing MR imaging methods for early detection of prostate cancer along with its location and the stage of cancer. Dr. Barentsz was of the opinion that MR imaging was capable of precise diagnosis and will be useful in enhancing the effectiveness of SMART surgery. Dr. Samadi’s expertise in the field of robotic prostatectomy stands out in the field of urologic oncology; he has performed over 3,600 surgeries using the SMART method. He explained that while performing surgery using SMART method he is able to exercise complete control on the urethra by leaving the dorsal vein complex untouched. He added that this method of surgery ensures minimum blood loss and a short stay at the hospital.
