His other contributions include creating one of the first laparoscopic radical prostatectomy programs in the country, a robotic-assisted prostatectomy program, and a laparoscopic kidney donor program. Committed to training the next generation of surgeons in minimally invasive techniques, he started a fellowship in endourology and laparoscopy, where 16 fellows and over 50 residents have been trained. His research interests include telemedicine, telesurgery, and advanced prostate cancer.
