For the first time in Michigan, a diseased kidney has been surgically removed at Henry Ford Hospital using highly sophisticated 3D robotics through a single incision. 'We made several improvements in the technique that could allow us to perform this type of procedure routinely,' says Craig Rogers, M.D., Henry Ford’s director of robotic renal surgery. He performed the delicate operation last week using the da Vinci Surgical System, which has already used in thousands of successful surgeries. (source: henryfordhealth.org)
