| DATE: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 |
| |
PLACE: Big Shotz Tavern 109 Stratford Rd
| |
| TIME: Back to our "High Noon" free lunch meeting.
|
| |
| PROGRAM:
"An Introduction to Field of Robotic Surgery."
Dr. Kader has performed urologic surgery
using the DaVinci surgical robot. This "Replay webcast"
web site connects you to an archived video of robotic
surgery which was performed earlier this year live on the web. In robotic surgery, the robot doesn’t
actually do the surgery independently. The robot assists the operator to be more precise and minimize the
invasiveness and risk of the procedure.
