First Utah Robotic Myomectomy (fibroid removal)

Myomectomy is the removal of fibroids from the uterus without hysterectomy. Over the last four plus years, I have been performing these laparoscopically. A couple of weeks ago, I was able to perform a myomectomy surgery on the DaVinci System. This was the first of it's kind in Utah.

Since the robotic service has started at Ogden Regional Medical Center, two gynecologists have begun offering minimally invasive, robotic surgeries to their patients. These are surgeons who did not offer minimally invasive options previously. Just an example of a movement toward understanding the benefits of laparoscopic and robotic approach to women's surgery.

It is great to see the movement toward less invasive surgical options for women!
