In a recent interview with Thrive Global and Authority Magazine writer Christine D. Warner, circumstances surrounding the lack of expertise when it comes to minimally invasive GYN surgery, which in many cases leads to sub-par outcomes for women being treated for complex GYN conditions, were explored.
During my residency training, it became clear that a change was necessary in the way patients underwent GYN surgery, and that change would require new techniques and procedures to allow for better outcomes, lower complications, and decreased cost. Laparoscopy, or minimally invasive GYN surgery, was the future, but there were definite problems with the way laparoscopy was being performed by the OBGYN. There appeared to be very few advances in the way the surgery was performed. In other words, the techniques and procedures were not changing as they were in other surgical specialties. There was a lack of “innovation” and application of any new techniques and procedures, but more an adoption of expensive “tools” to get the surgery done. The tools being used, such as robotics, would never allow for better surgical techniques, but would allow possibly more surgery to be performed at the expense of possibly higher complications and cost.
