Revolutionary Surgery
The arrival of the DaVinci Robot has added another tool to the treatment options for endometriosis. I have the privilege of being one of only a handful of Minnesota gynecologic surgeons to be credentialed to use the robot. I was the first surgeon at Fairview Southdale Hospital to perform a total laproscopic hysterectomy using this technology and am currently training other surgeons to use the DaVinci robot. I have found the robotic technology to be uniquely suited to the treatment of complex/deep endometriosis. The visualization of endometriosis lesions is phenominal with the 3 demensional scope and the precision with which the implants can be excised is unsurpassed. I truly believe this will transform the surgical treatment of endometriosis.
