Minimally-invasive prostate removal surgery offered Urologic surgeons in the School of Medicine are offering men with prostate cancer a new option, laparoscopic prostate removal surgery.
During the past decade, many operations that once required
large incisions and long recovery periods have been converted
into less invasive procedures that use a series of smaller,
pencil-sized incisions. Surgeons insert small tools and
tiny cameras, or laparoscopes, to see what is going on
inside the patient during the surgery. Full story

Special 'putty' used in new spine fusion surgery School of Medicine surgeons are looking for volunteers for an investigational type of spinal fusion surgery. They will test whether a specially formulated "putty" helps the spine heal more quickly and with fewer complications than traditional surgical methods. Several diseases that affect the spine may cause bones
to become unstable and slip against one another, resulting
in a painful condition. Traditionally, surgeons first
remove bone and ligaments from the spine to relieve pressure
on the nerves. Sometimes, they also support the spine
with a part of the patient's own hip bone (called a fusion)
to prevent further slippage. Full story
