Reproductive Surgery Historical Videos
Giant Myomectomy with Hybrid Robotic Technique – This surgical video shows a hybrid laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy technique for large myomata that was pioneered at Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2007
Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Myomectomy after Uterine Fibroid Embolization for Removal of a Cervical Myoma – This video, presented at an annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, describes in detail the safe robotic excision of a large cervical myoma following temporary occlusion of the uterine arteries, and exemplifies the high level of technical skills achieved by our robotic team and the successful teamwork with the BWH Interventional Radiology Center.
Robot-Assisted Tubal Reanastomosis: Evolution of the Technique at Brigham and Women’s Hospital – This video, presented at an annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, describes the adoption of laparoscopy for microsurgical reversal of tubal sterilization at BWH, starting with conventional laparoscopy in 1999 and proceeding to robot-assisted laparoscopy by 2006.
Robotic Adenomyomectomy - This surgical video shows detailed footage of an adenomyomectomy performed at BWH. The procedure involves the removal of endometriosis from the uterus and the subsequent reconstruction of the uterine wall.
