“The purpose of MSRI is to achieve the best results for patients through optimization of robotic technology and multidisciplinary care,” said Ash Tewari, MD, co-chair of the institute and a professor in the urology department at Mount Sinai. “At our institute, we will focus on patient education, clinical research and collaboration and the study of healthcare outcomes, as well as training and development of new technology.”
Surgeons at Mount Sinai have been ahead of the curve in adopting robotics in surgery. For instance, they were early adopters of the da Vinci robotics system, and Dr. Tewari developed the robotic prostate surgery technique known as Advanced Robotic Technique prostatectomy. Additionally, Mount Sinai pioneered the use of NeuroSafe, a procedure that tells the surgeon if all cancerous cells were excised during the operation — it is the only institution in the U.S. using the technology.
The MSRI is one of more than 20 institutes at Icahn School of Medicine.
