Dr. Mitchell is Christiana Care’s Director of Robotic Surgery at the Helen F. Graham Cancer & Research Institute. Dr. Mitchell is a physician partner at Brandywine Urology Consultants. Dr. Mitchell brings expertise in some of the most advanced and complex minimally invasive robotic surgical techniques in the field of urology to Delaware.
Dr. Mitchell specializes in minimally invasive robotic surgery to treat benign and malignant diseases of the genitourinary tract; including partial nephrectomy for kidney tumors, nerve sparing prostatectomy for prostate cancer and complex ureteral reconstruction. Dr. Mitchell is pleased to bring Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HOLEP) procedure to Christiana Care; making this area one of the few locations in the country to offer this new state of the art urological procedure. This new procedure is shown to be highly effective in treating enlarged prostate or BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia), a non-cancerous that affects most men as they age.
