Twenty-five years ago probably 95 percent of procedures I do now would have been through a large incision. Now 90 percent of them are minimally invasive.

Our progressive, new generation robotic equipment is constantly evolving. Advanced electrical generator systems attached to the instruments improve the robots’ visibility, minimizing the removal of dead tissue from healthy organs. This provides a huge advantage, particularly for infertility patients’ very delicate structures such as fallopian tubes, ovaries, uteri and peritoneal surfaces. Advancements in robotic procedures offer safer, more effective results.
