The operative experience includes a spectrum of operations ranging from minimally invasive and robotic surgery to “maximally invasive” complex intra-abdominal and thoracic procedures. The operating schedule is very busy; the two attendings run approximately eight full operating rooms per week. There are no surgical residents competing for attention from the faculty. Research The research activities are undertaken almost daily throughout the year. The clinical research work involves collecting and analyzing data primarily from different databases including LESS cholecystectomies, gastroesophageal reflux disease, melanoma, robotic inguinal hernias and LESS surgery outcomes and techniques.
