In this episode, the Radio Rounds crew explores the topic of robotic surgery — highlighting the ongoing evolution of surgical technique and patient care.

Featured Guest: Dr. Bruce Bernie, a practicing OB/GYN in Dayton, Ohio. Born into a family of physicians that was once featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for ‘Most Physicians in a Family,’ Dr. Bernie has been practicing medicine since the 1970s, when the face of medicine was much different.  A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Dr. Bernie has successfully integrated the growing field of robotic surgery into his current practice.

Hosts Avash Kalra, John Mark McClain, John Corker, Teresa Lee, and Casey McCluskey lead us through the conversation with Dr. Bernie.  Together, they discuss the the impact of robotics on the physician-patient relationship, as well as on patient outcomes. Specifically, Dr. Bernie discusses the benefits of robotic surgery, including diminished invasiveness, shorter recovery times and fewer complications. Dr. Bernie also discusses the historical origins and the future of robotic surgery.
