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.
Surgical Staging
In 2009, Dr. G. Hilaris and his team performed the first ever robot-assisted surgical staging in Greece, for endometrial cancer in a 39-year-old patient.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy (from the Greek word “ύστερον”= uterus and endoscopy) is the detailed examination of the uterus (or endometrial cavity).
