Biographical Sketch:
I have been performing gynecologic surgeries with the robotic platform since 2006. Currently, I serve as Co-Director of the Robotic Surgery Program for the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We have been using the robotic platform increasingly for more advanced gynecologic oncology procedures including splenectomy, bowel resections, and tumor cytoreduction. We have published our experience incorporating the platform and continue to analyze our experience."
