The use of advanced technologies does not negate assistance from other surgeons. On the contrary, teamwork is key in robotic surgery as in any surgical procedure.
TECHNIQUES & PROCEDURES
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity over the last decades as an alternative method for performing a multitude of procedures.
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.
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.
