A member asked:

Does my obgyn need an assistant surgeon for regular (non robotic) laparoscopic myomectomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Typically one: When doing laparoscopic surgery an assistant is sometimes needed to act as a "third hand" especially when using multiple ports for instruments in certain procedures. The assistant need not be another physician but may be a member of the surgery staff or in a teaching institution, a resident.
