Mercy Robotic Surgery
Patient Testimony
When Julian Kornfeld, a 74-year-old retired tax attorney, found out he had prostate cancer, he did what he always does—he researched all his options.
“When you consider that your prostate is no bigger than a walnut and that the utmost precision is required or else you may be incontinent and/or impotent the rest of your life, there was no other decision than robotic surgery for me,” Julian said. “I chose Brian Link because he has performed hundreds of these procedures and unlike traditional surgery, the robot allows the physician to be much more precise. With a 3D screen, my prostate looks more like a small watermelon than a walnut and that matters when you are working in and around vital nerves.”
Not only was Julian’s procedure a success, he had no pain, not even the day of surgery. “I feel fabulous,” he said. “I walked the halls of the hospital the day of the surgery. Men get freaked out about prostate cancer but they shouldn’t. If you get it, you can get rid of it. I’m back in the game and I want everyone to know about robotics.”
