WORKING
TOGETHER TO
MAKE GREAT
STRIDES IN
HEALTHCARE
Philanthropy has played a significant role
in the history and continued success of
Mount Sinai Medical Center. It was through
the visionary leadership and selfless
generosity of our original Founders that
Mount Sinai was established; and it is
through the ongoing support of donors
that we continue to make great strides in
healthcare today.
In this issue of Mount Sinai Life, we
feature special coverage of our most
generous donors, the Society of Mount
Sinai, whose membership was celebrated
during a dinner party at the beautiful St.
Regis Bal Harbour Resort. We are grateful
to Marco Selva, general manager of the St.
Regis, who graciously opened the doors of
his hotel to the Society.
We also thank our guest speaker Stephen
I. Sadove, chairman and CEO of Saks
Incorporated, and his associate Deborah
Slack, vice president and general manager
of Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour. Our
partnership with Saks also extends to its
annual Key to the Cure shopping event,
which begins this year on Wednesday,
October 16. For the second year in a row, a
portion of the proceeds from all sales in the
Bal Harbour store during Key to the Cure
will benefit the Mount Sinai Comprehensive
Cancer Center.
This issue of Mount Sinai Life also
includes coverage of a special dedication in
recognition of David Wallack and his son,
Joshua, whose restaurant, Mango’s Tropical
Beach Café, is part of our Foundation’s
Community Partnership Program.
We are grateful that all of our donors
understand and embrace our mission
to provide quality healthcare enhanced
through teaching, research, charity care
and financial responsibility. Remaining
true to our mission, we continuously strive
to provide advanced care in a wide range of
specialties.
This issue also features articles on
robotic-assisted surgery. The lead story
focuses on a robotic partial nephrectomy
performed by Dr. Akshay Bhandari, cochief of the Columbia University Division
of Urology and director of robotic surgery.
Using this minimally invasive procedure
to remove a cancerous growth from his
patient’s kidney, Dr. Bhandari helped his
patient avoid the threat of dialysis and
maintain a healthy quality of life. We
also feature an article on single-incision
robotic gynecological surgery, which
offers the benefits of a faster recovery and
virtually no scarring. Dr. Nicholas Lambrou,
a member of Mount Sinai’s team of
gynecologic oncologists, is among an elite
group of surgeons in the country skilled in
performing the procedure.
Because we also strive to make the care
and services we provide as accessible as
possible for our patients, we are always
searching for new options to expand our
presence in the community. Recently, we
opened a new primary and specialty care
center in Coral Gables and – looking toward
the future – plans are underway to open a
new center in Sunny Isles Beach in the fall
of 2014.
As we remain focused on our healthcare
mission, the future remains bright for
Mount Sinai Medical Center. We are grateful
to every member of our philanthropic
family, and we will to do all that we can to
earn your continued support.

The Society of Mount Sinai had a private
audience with Stephen I. “Steve” Sadove,
chairman and CEO of Saks Incorporated,
during an intimate dinner at the St. Regis
Bal Harbour Resort on Friday, April 26.
The gathering included more than 170
members and guests of the Society, which
represents the pinnacle of philanthropic
support at the medical center. Successful
organizations have a culture that everyone
understands and a clearly communicated
strategy for success, Steve said, adding
that giving back to the community is
essential.
“We decided that Saks was going to be
an organization that cared not only about
its employees, but about the communities
in which we live,” he said. “We made a
decision that we were going to give an
enormous amount of our profits back to the
community and get much more involved in
the community.”

ROBOTIC SURGERY SAVES
PATIENT’S KIDNEY AND ELIMINATES
THE RISK OF DIALYSIS
No Margin for Error
“The gravity of the situation is that there
is no margin for error when the patient has
only one kidney,” Dr. Bhandari explains. “If
we had to remove the entire kidney or if we
took too long to remove the tumor, we ran
the risk of renal failure, and Mrs. Gil could
have ended up on dialysis.”
Dr. Bhandari opted to perform a roboticassisted partial nephrectomy, a minimally
invasive procedure in which he removed
only the cancerous tissue and spared as
much as possible of Gil’s remaining kidney.
An expert in the field, Dr. Bhandari
has performed more than 700 robotic
procedures, including removal of the
prostate, kidney, and bladder, as well as
partial kidney removal and other complex
urologic procedures.

“Typically, cases such as Mrs. Gil’s are done
in an open surgical procedure in which
we cool the kidney and slow its function,
which gives us more time to remove the
tumor,” Dr. Bhandari explains. “However,
robotics help us to do the procedure
quickly, and patients get the benefit
of minimally invasive surgery without
compromising renal function.”
Robotic-assisted surgery uses tiny
incisions and instruments similar to
those used in laparoscopic surgery. But,
unlike laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon
is not operating the instruments at the
patient’s bedside. The surgical
instruments are attached to a
robotic device that is controlled
by the surgeon who is sitting
nearby at a console that shows
high-definition 3-D images
of the patient’s anatomy.
The surgeon uses controls
on the console to move the
instruments and camera during
the procedure. In real-time, the
robotic system translates the
surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger
movements into more precise
movements of the instruments
operating inside the patient.

MOUNT SINAI AMONG FIRST IN THE NATION TO OFFER
SINGLE-INCISION GYNECOLOGIC SURGERY USING
ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY
Mount Sinai Medical Center recently became one of the first facilities in the nation to
perform a single-incision robotic gynecological surgery. Dr. Nicholas Lambrou, part of
Mount Sinai’s team of gynecologic oncologists, is among an elite group of surgeons in
the country skilled in performing the single-site surgery, which gained approval by the
Food and Drug Administration earlier this year.
“To be one of the first hospitals to offer this technically advanced surgery
demonstrates Mount Sinai’s leadership in providing patients with the most up-todate minimally invasive surgical options,” says Lambrou. A national leader in robotic
surgery for complex gynecologic surgery, Dr. Lambrou has established a higher than
national-average safety record.
Unlike traditional robotic surgical procedures, which require three to five small
incisions, this new technology allows for a single incision in the belly button, resulting
in a nearly invisible scar. Because it is a minimally invasive robotic procedure, patients
can anticipate shorter recovery time, less blood loss and fewer complications. FDA
approval for single site robotic surgery is for simple hysterectomies and for ovarian
surgery.
“The real advantage with this technique is an improvement on reduced scarring
and getting back to normal life as quickly as possible,” Dr. Lambrou says. “The modern
woman is active, athletic and often busy with balancing work and family. Providing a
safe procedure through a small incision offers the best outcome with minimal scarring.”

Mary Gil was a typical 14-year-old living in
Key West when chronic urinary infections
prompted a series of diagnostic tests and
surgery. The procedure revealed that one of
her kidneys had turned into an infectionfilled sack.
After removing the sack, Gil’s doctor
assured her that her remaining kidney was
healthy and that she would be fine.
“I didn’t have any problems until now,”
says Gil, now 66, semi-retired and living
in Hialeah with her husband, Ovidio. Last
December, she experienced a persistent
cough that doctors suspected was
bronchitis. When antibiotics failed to bring
relief, her doctor ordered diagnostic tests
that by happenstance revealed an abnormal
growth on Gil’s kidney, which was very
suspicious for cancer. She was referred by
her urologist to Mount Sinai Medical Center
and Dr. Akshay Bhandari, the hospital’s cochief of the Columbia University Division of
Urology and director of robotic surgery.

Mount Sinai Honors Dr. Benjamin Abo
for Heroism
18
Even on vacation, a doctor may have an
occasion to save someone’s life. That more
than proved to be the case for Dr. Benjamin
Abo, who put his own life on the line while
vacationing in New York City, and rescued a
man who had fallen onto subway tracks.
“Looking back on it now, it just came
down to instinct,” says Dr. Abo, a secondyear emergency medicine resident at Mount
Sinai Medical Center.
Dr. Abo, who also trained as a paramedic
and has a master’s degree in public health,
was honored during a plaque presentation
on Wednesday, July 3, by Dr. Robert
Goldszer, chief medical officer at Mount
Sinai, and his colleagues.
Dr. Abo’s act of heroism took place on
Wednesday, June 19, in a subway station
in New York’s West Village. A man and two
women were walking along the subway
platform at about 10:30 p.m. when the man
appeared to have a seizure.
“He wasn’t quite acting normal, and he
was getting closer
and closer to the edge
of the platform,” Dr.
Abo recalls. “There
was this point when
he went to take a
step, and he went
straight down. He
landed headfirst and
hit his head on the
track.”
Dr. Benjamin Abo
Dr. Abo called out
to the man, but he was unresponsive, and
then asked other passengers to call for
help. After checking to see if a train was
coming, Dr. Abo and another passenger
jumped onto the track. One of the injured
man’s companions jumped in as well.
After sitting the still unconscious man
upright, Dr. Abo and the other passenger
struggled to get the victim and his friend
back on the platform. Dr. Abo was the last
to get to safety.
“As soon as I got up on the
platform, I grabbed the guy,
rolled him over and pulled
him away from the edge of
the platform,” Dr. Abo says.
“About five seconds later the
train comes roaring in.”
Dr. Abo tended to the
man, who was bleeding
from a head wound he
sustained in the fall,
and kept him calm until
paramedics arrived. He never got the
victim’s name or that of the other man who
helped in the rescue. He, too, would have
remained anonymous had it not been for a
journalist, who happened upon the scene
and encountered Dr. Abo, standing alone
and splattered with blood. He told her what
happened and she alerted the New York Post.
“She said, ‘You’re a hero,’” Dr. Abo recalls,
“and I said, ‘No, someone needed help, and I
just did what needed to be done.’”

Be sushisavvy!
Glorious FOOD
It’s got to be healthy, right? A little bit of fish, a tiny smattering of rice – all
rolled up in some seaweed – what could go wrong? In fact, sushi can be one of the
healthiest dining-out options there is, nonfattening yet rich in heart-protective
omega-3 fatty acids. But, as the once-exotic Japanese food has become ubiquitous
in the U.S., new varieties have been developed – some with ingredients that have
nutrition gurus crying foul. These days, sushi’s calorie count varies widely, with
some choices decidedly diet-unfriendly. Here’s a quick primer:
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
provides more than
one-third of your daily
requirement of sodium.

Did you know?
That hot green sushi condiment that clears your sinuses is called wasabi, but in the
U.S., chances are it’s not the genuine spice made from the wasabia japonica root.
Instead, it’s a cheaper, easier-to-handle mixture of horseradish, mustard and food
coloring that the Japanese call “seiyo wasabi,” or Western wasabi.
GIVE PEACEFUL
A CHANCE

TAKE A
MEDITATION BREAK
Whether or not you’re seeking
spiritual enlightenment, a few calming
moments of silence can have a wonderful
soothing effect.
The jury’s still out on just how
health-promoting meditation is, but
some studies have found it reduces
blood pressure, heart rate and
cholesterol levels. A recent report
published in the American
Journal of Hypertension,
for instance, found that
people at risk for
hypertension who
practiced 20 minutes
of meditation daily
lowered their blood
pressure significantly
and reduced their risk of
developing hypertension by
52 percent. Experts suspect that meditation
brings benefits by quieting the sympathetic
nervous system (responsible for our
“fight-or-flight” response) and by amping
up the parasympathetic nervous system
(which slows heart rate and breathing and
improves blood flow). The result: more dayto-day serenity.
Techniques vary widely, but most forms
of meditation involve finding a comfortable
position in a quiet spot, then either
focusing on your breathing or repeating a
mantra. You might begin with just five
minutes a day, gradually working
up to 20 minutes or more. A wide
variety of “how-to” manuals can
be found at your local bookstore
or online.

SMELL THE ROSES
It’s not just their pretty
petals that cause flowers
to brighten your mood – their fragrance
may actually calm tensed-out
nerves, too. Researchers in
Japan found that mice
exposed to stress-inducing
situations had lower
levels of neutrophils and
lymphocytes – two types
of stress-related immune
cells – when they sniffed
linalool, a scented compound found in
blooms. They also showed reduced activity
in more than 100 genes linked to the stress
response. With additional research, this
demonstrated physiological reaction may
add credence to the therapeutic claims long
made by proponents of aromatherapy.

PUT THE KETTLE
ON
You’ve probably heard that a
spot of hot tea can soothe frazzled nerves
– now there’s research to support the claim.
British investigators (of course!) divided
75 men into two groups, one of which
sipped black tea daily for six weeks, while
the other drank a caffeinated placebo.
After this period, the men were asked to
complete a stressful task. Researchers took
blood samples an hour later and found
that the tea drinkers had lower levels of
the stress hormone cortisol,
indicating that they
recovered from the
stress more quickly
than did the teafree group.

GET SOME
EXERCISE
5
CHUCKLE
It’s welldocumented that physical
exertion can help alleviate
stress, so why not try
something new? Just
be sure to consult
with your doctor
or other healthcare
professional before
embarking on a new
exercise program.
There’s good reason why your
mood improves when you’ve
been giggling over 30 Rock or scanning
The Onion’s headlines. Research shows
that laughter has a positive impact on
your stress response, leading up to a more
relaxed feeling. Chuckles also can stimulate
your heart, lungs and muscles and even
ease stomachaches, thanks to their
positive effects on digestion.

A pressure-filled life is about as American
as apple pie and Friends reruns – so much so
that many of us wear our stress as a badge
of honor, accepting the cranky impatience,
throbbing headaches and sleepless nights as
the price we pay for how in-demand our time is.
But the possible long-term effects of stress
(a weakened immune system, blood clots, high
blood pressure and heart disease among them)
are nothing to boast about – or flirt with. So,
here are five ways to ease your troubled mind –
and do your body good.
Can’t picture
your life
without
continual
stress?
Here’s how
you can –
and why you
should.
