Setting the Course for the Future of GYN Robotic Surgery By Lisa Schwartz

ITH HEALTHCARE technology continuing to rapidly evolve, what is advanced today can easily become obsolete in several years. Take robotic surgery, for example. Emerging in the marketplace a decade ago, robotic surgery appears to be on the fast track to becoming the gold standard in a variety of medical disciplines, including gynecologic oncology. Dwight D. Im, MD, director of The Gynecologic Oncology Center at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, is one of the nation’s foremost gynecologic robotic surgeons, and is on the cutting edge of this burgeoning technology. Dr. Im, who began using the daVinci robot for surgery in 2009, has since performed more GYN robotic surgeries than any other surgeon in the nation. Dr. Im’s experience in robotic, as well as laparoscopic and traditional open surgery, gives him a unique perspective into the advantages of robotic surgery for both doctors and patients.
