ABOUT: |
|
|
|
|
For the past 20 years, Dr. Clayman has concentrated his energies on developing new applications of minimally invasive surgery to the treatment of kidney stone disease, kidney cancer, strictures of the ureter, and all aspects of kidney and ureteral surgery. He and his associates have been world leaders in this area having performed the world's first laparoscopic removal of a kidney for both benign disease and for cancer, the first laparoscopic removal of a kidney and ureter to treat cancer, the development of a unique cutting balloon catheter to treat obstruction of the ureter, and some of the initial work on both percutaneous and endoscopic therapy for ureteral and kidney stones of all sizes. In addition, by establishing the first fellowship program in minimally invasive urology, Dr. Clayman has had the opportunity to develop the next generation of urologists committed to less invasive surgery. Past trainees of his program now occupy academic positions in universities throughout the United States, Canada, and Israel.
