Dr. David Ornstein Launches His Web Site www.davidornsteinmd.com Dedicated to Patients with Urologic Malignancies (Prostate Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Kidney Cancer)

Irvine, CA, July 03, 2007 --(PR.com)-- http://www.davidornsteinmd.com contains basic information on urologic malignancies (prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer) with particular emphasis on treatment options using the DaVinci Robotic Surgical System. Robotic surgery offers many advantages to both the surgeon and patient. Surgical precision and visualization are enhanced leading to improvements in patients outcomes. In general, patients undergoing robotic surgery experience less blood loss, shorter hospitalization and faster recovery than patients undergoing traditional open surgeries. Robotic radical prostatectomy is now the most common surgical approach for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The benefits of robotic surgery are highly dependent on the experience and skills of the surgeon. Dr. Ornstein has developed significant expertise and experience in robotic surgery having performed more than 300 (265 robotic radical prostatectomies) robotic surgeries.

The web site http://www.davidornsteinmd.com provides information about Dr. Ornstein’s background and qualifications. There is also a section on frequently asked questions and a robotic surgery / prostate cancer / kidney cancer / bladder cancer patient forum. Finally, the web site facilitates scheduling a consultation with Dr. Ornstein and provides critical practical information for existing patients.

About Dr. Ornstein
Dr. Ornstein has experience in all areas of urologic oncology with particular expertise in robotic radical prostatectomy, robotic cystectomy with urinary diversion and robotic partial nephrectomy. Having performed more than 250 robotic procedures, Dr. Ornstein is one of the most experienced robotic surgeons on the West Coast. An accomplished laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Ornstein began performing robotic radical prostatectomies in November 2003. Since that time he has expanded the use of robotic surgery for the treatment of bladder and kidney cancer. In fact, Dr. Ornstein was the first surgeon in North America to report having completed a cystectomy with ileal neobladder entirely with the DaVinci Robot. In addition to training urology residents, Dr. Ornstein has taught and proctored several surgeons throughout on robotic radical prostatectomy. Dr. Ornstein has a very busy urologic oncology clinical practice both at The University of California, Irvine and Long Beach Memorial Medical Centers.
