 Dr. John Lieberman, I've been doing robotic surgery here at Michigan Medical Center in Midland since 2011 when we first started with our DaVinci robotic surgery program. Since that time, we have come a long way with our program and we actually have recently added the latest technology, the DaVinci XI, which affords us many fantastic benefits for our patients. First notably, we have a 3D visualization during procedures. The wristed instrumentation is amazing in its ability to provide very precise and gentle tissue handling, which greatly decreases postoperative pain for these patients, which ultimately translates into a shorter postoperative recovery and shorter hospitalization times. robotic surgery has really enhanced my ability as a surgeon to complete procedures more safely for patients. So to me it has really, the big win has been for the patients. They really stand to benefit all around from having their surgery completed using the DaVinci robot, having a surgery done through very small incisions and in a shorter period of time with shorter recoveries, less blood loss, really has resulted in better patient satisfaction and quicker return to their normal activities and work. All of those things are our tremendous benefit to the people that we serve in the Mid-Michigan area. The procedures I'm currently doing robotically are hysterectomies, removal of tubes, ovaries when necessary, lysis of adhesions, removal of scar tissue, dissection and removal of endometriosis. For patients that have gynecologic conditions that are requiring surgery, the DaVinci robotic surgery approach is certainly something to be considered and talking to your gynecologist about whether you're a candidate for that type of surgery would help you decide what the best procedure for your condition is. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Outstanding Robotics program here at Mid-Michigan and I'm very pleased to be able to offer my patients the state of the art technology that we have available for doing surgery.
