Robotic Cancer
Domenico Savatta, M.D.
Chief Of Minimally Invasive and Robotic Adult Urologic Surgery
Newark Beth Israel Medical Center- Newark, NJ
Welcome to Robotic Cancer.com. This website is for the information for Dr. Savatta's patients, prospective patients, and for urologists interested in coming to Newark Beth Israel's training center for robotic training and case observations.
This site has useful information, but keep in mind that surgery is done differently by different surgeons. Contact your surgeon for specific information.
Dr. Savatta has been performing robotic surgery since 2004 and extensive experience in robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery.
Dr. Savatta finished a 6 year urologic residency at Indiana University where he had extensive training in oncology and laparoscopy. He has taken the open and laparoscopic cancer training he received and now performs the majority of urologic cancer operations robotically.
Dr. Savatta is part of a group that consists of 9 board certified urologits in West Orange, New Jersey: Associates in Urology.
Newark Beth Israel became the first hospital on the east coast to have a da Vinci S robot and Dr. Savatta performed the first robotic surgery with it on March 13, 2006. The patient had a prostate that weighed almost 200 grams (30 is normal) and had multiple prior prostate operations.
Dr. Savatta is now performing robotic surgery at 3 hospitals in New Jersey.
