Newest Surgical Option for Kidney Cancer

The newest surgical option for localized kidney cancer -- using robotic technology to remove the tumor and spare the kidney -- is featured in a Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center webcast.

The webcast features Ashok K. Hemal, MD, MCh, professor and director of the Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery Program of the Department of Urology, performing robot-assisted, kidney-sparing surgery on a 48-year-old man with kidney cancer.

Karim Kader, MD, PhD, assistant professor of urology, moderates.
