In this segment, Dr. Im, Medical Director of The Neil B. Rosenshein, M.D., Institute for Gynecologic Care at Mercy, The Gynecologic Oncology Center at Mercy, and The National Institute of Robotic Surgery at Mercy, takes time from his leadership role at the 12^th annual Gynecologic Robotic Surgery Conference held in downtown Baltimore last August to appear on Medoscopy.

Dr. Im explores the present achievements and future outlook for robotic surgery in addressing a variety of gynecologic issues, including ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers. Dr. Im also discusses his breakthrough “IMSWAY” approach:

“IMSWAY is a robotic surgical alternative to traditional open and laparoscopic surgical approaches for addressing all manner of serious gynecologic conditions, including but not exclusive to, retroperitoneal hysterectomy, the removal of large fibroids, removal of severe endometriosis, surgical treatment of ovarian remnant syndrome, and other maladies involving the uterus,” Dr. Im explains. “IMSWAY involves these elements: entering the retroperitoneal space using the infundibulopelvic ligament; the medial leaf of the peritoneum; skeletonization of the ureter, water under the bridge, arriving at the origin of the uterine artery – IMSWAY,” he added.

Medoscopy cameras cover the conference, which features nationally acclaimed guest speakers addressing such topics as complex robotic myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids), robotic hysterectomy; utilizing robotic surgery to address endometriosis; dealing with complications and challenging cases, etc.

This month’s segment ends with a short video from Dr. Im encouraging clinicians to learn more and to register for the 13th Annual Minimally Invasive Gynecologic #RoboticSurgery Conference at The Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore, Sept. 21st & 22nd, 2023.
