Wishner is the director of Minimally Invasive and Colorectal Surgery and co-director of the Institute for Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery at Northern Westchester Hospital. Once Michael and his wife were introduced to Wishner, they knew they'd come to the right place. "Dr. Wishner's off-beat sense of humor really sold us, and he explained the procedure and really put us at ease," said Michael.
In the operating room Wishner performed minimally invasive robot-assisted colon surgery using the innovative da Vinci Surgical System. This robotic-assisted system at Northern Westchester Hospital puts sophisticated robotic surgical instruments in the complete control of specially trained surgeons. The result is unparalleled precision and visualization at the surgical site, and provides patients like Michael smaller incisions, faster recover and a quicker return to normal routines.
Thanks to the reduced invasiveness of the da Vinci Surgical System, Michael enjoyed greater post-surgery mobility sooner as well as a shorter hospital stay. He also appreciated the care of the hospital staff. "The environment really made it conducive to healing, and I would recommend Dr. Wishner and Northern Westchester Hospital to any patients."
