Prostate Cancer Treatment Using Minimally Invasive Cutting Edge Technology

MADISON, WI, Nov 04, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Surgeons at St. Mary's Hospital will perform a live minimally
invasive robot-assisted prostatectomy surgery for treating prostate
cancer using a da Vinci(R) Surgical System on www.OR-Live.com. The da
Vinci(R) is the most innovative surgical option available to treat
prostate cancer.
Using the da Vinci(R) Surgical System, this prostate-removal
procedure brings even more credibility to the term "minimally invasive
surgery." It requires five tiny incisions through which the surgeon
operates, via remotely controlled robotic arms with tiny 8-millimeter
instruments. Smaller incisions mean less trauma to the body and faster
recovery. Use of the da Vinci system has also been shown to yield
shorter hospital stays, less pain and superior clinical outcomes.
The prostatectomy will be performed by Dr. Brooke Johnson, Dean
Health System urologist, and physician assistant Megan Kushner. Dr.
Adam Tierney, Dean Health System urologist, will provide commentary.
The webcast will be hosted by Steve Van Dinter, Regional Director of
Media Relations & Public Affairs for SSM Health Care of Wisconsin.
da Vinci(R) is registered trademark of Intuitive Surgical, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ISRG)

also has applications in gynecologic procedures and heart surgeries.
