Colposcopy
Not necessarily. It depends on a per case basis. In case of a lesion, the specialist may obtain biopsy samples. These samples are usually superficial and do not cause any pain. Occasionally, the patient may experience a mild pain in the lower abdomen, like a cramp.
TECHNIQUES & PROCEDURES
Laparotomy
Laparotomy is still considered a reliable and trustworthy procedure for a trained surgeon to perform whenever deemed clinically necessary.
Robotic Surgery
We have been using the DaVinci® robotic system since 2002 at Stanford University Hospital, California, long before the it became known in Europe.
Radical Hysterectomy
The first total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, with complete lymph node dissection, was performed in Greece in 2004 by Dr. G. Hilaris and his team.
