Urological Cancer

Dr. Mishail is a board certified fellowship trained urologist who has been successfully providing surgical and medical treatment for cancers of the urinary tract and the reproductive system. Urology is on the cutting edge of surgical techniques and Dr. Mishail is highly trained in minimally-invasive techniques (including robotic assisted surgery) in the management of urological cancers. As part of comprehensive cancer care, he also participates in the multidisciplinary approach with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other specialists to provide individualized, state of the art care for each patient.

Robotic surgery is a form of a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique during which small body incisions are used for placement of surgical instruments. These instruments are attached to robotic arms, allowing a surgeon maximum range and precision of motion during the procedure. A high-definition, three-dimensional camera with enhanced visualization allows the surgeon for precise magnification and guidance during the procedure. The surgeon controls the instruments and camera at a robotic console in the operating room.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

Smaller incisions - less surgical trauma/ smaller scars
More precise anatomical dissection
Faster recovery times compared with traditional open surgery
Magnified view of the surgical field: accurate depth perception and sharper image
Robotic arms and instruments simplify the most complex movements during surgery

Dr. Mishail has been successfully performing surgeries with the use of Da Vinci robot.

These procedures include:

Radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer
Partial nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer
Pyeloplasty (UPJ repair) for ureteral obstruction
Sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse
Ureteral reimplantation for ureteral disorders
Robotic bladder surgery for bladder diverticulum disease and other urinary bladder disorders
