Targeting Bladder Cancer With Robotic Surgery

Steve Jamison turned to Carol Salem, medical director of Scripps Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery Program, to discuss treatment options when he faced a diagnosis of bladder cancer. Robotic surgery allowed Dr. Salem to remove the diseased organ and create a new bladder from a section of intestine, then placed back into his body -- all with minimal incisions and blood loss.
