Has you used a robot to operate on patients?

Yes: I have been using the davinci robot for almost all of my gynecologic procedures for the past 3 years. Prior to that, i did laparoscopic procedures without the robot. I find the robot significantly improves my surgical dexterity, precision, and visibility. I find my patients have less blood loss, less pain, and quicker recoveries.

Yes: The robot is an excellent extension of our laparoscopic surgical skills.

Yes.: The davinci robot allows patients to recover more quickly from surgery. It also allows the surgeon to do complex, delicate procedures. I use it for hysterectomies, myomectomies, ovarian surgery and endometriosis surgery.

Yes : I use the davinci robot for some head and neck cancers, such as cancers of the throat (tonsil or base of tongue) and some laryngeal cancers. Not everyone is a candidate for this type of surgery.

Yes: The use of robots in the operating room is dramatically increasing. The robot offers advantages that cannot be gained by any other method. Procedures are less invasive allow for quicker and easier recovery for many patients. Like most gynecologists who have the da Vinci robot available, I have been trained and certified in its use and have employed it in many of my surgeries.
