| Ayal M. Kaynan, MD is a board-certified urologist, fellowship trained in endourology, laparoscopic & robotic surgery. He is committed to urologic cancer surgery. After graduating cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, he went to Duke University School of Medicine to earn his medical degree. He then went to Mayo Clinic for a surgical internship, and was recruited to Montefiore Medical Center of Yeshiva University for post-graduate residency training in urologic surgery. During the course of his residency, Dr. Kaynan committed six months to research bladder cancer at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and six months to clinical urologic |  Ayal M.

| oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After residency, Dr. Kaynan trained as a fellow in endourology & laparoscopic surgery at Stanford University.
During his fellowship, he devoted time to research in the laboratory at Intuitive Surgical, Inc., then in Mountainview, California. At that moment in robotic surgical history, only 15 hospitals world-wide had daVinci Surgical Robots available for clinical use. Upon completing fellowship, Dr. Kaynan joined the Adult & Pediatric Urology Group in Morristown, New Jersey. He had already begun to perform [non-robotic] laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - few urologists world-wide have gained sufficient skill to perform this technically complex procedure without the use of a surgical robot. With robotic surgery and other advanced laparoscopic techniques slowly gaining popularity in the global urologic community, Dr. Kaynan took sabbatical in leading institutions in France as an honorary laparoscopic urologic oncology fellow. (France is several years ahead of the United States in laparoscopic techniques). Dr. Kaynan, a partner in the Adult & Pediatric Urology Group, routinely performs robotic / laparoscopic surgery for patients with prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and adrenal tumors. He serves as the Director of Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery at Morristown Memorial Hospital, and he proctors and trains other surgeons learning these techniques. He also serves as a reference and surgeon for other urologists with exceptionally difficult cases to manage. Click here to view Dr. Kaynan's curriculum vitae View Patient Testimonials |
