Gynecologic Specialty Surgery

At Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, our experts at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology will combine the latest research with world-class patient care. Our faculty and researchers in the Division of Gynecologic Specialty Surgery are leaders in minimally invasive surgical techniques and one of the world’s most experienced gynecologic robotic surgeons. The division participates in the nationally-recognized, interdisciplinary research, education, and minimally-invasive surgical approaches with a thoughtful focus on patient-centered care thus allowing the patient a quicker recovery, improved cosmesis, and greater patient satisfaction. Our division conducts clinical trials on the latest, most promising medication treatments, targeted drugs and devices, and surgical approaches.

Research interests in this area are focused on women with benign gynecologic conditions and urogynecologic diagnoses. We conduct clinical trials for endometriosis, fibroids, treatment for pelvic pain, pelvic floor disorders and various surgical techniques.

The division has many ongoing industry-sponsored or investigator-initiated investigations, as well as a host of retrospective analysis including:

1. Pre-operative factors in Prediction of Obliterated Anterior Cul-de-sac in Hysterectomy After Cesarean Section
2. Improvement in Surgical Efficiency Following Implementation of EMIGS: A Longitudinal Study
3. Elagolix in Combination with Combined Oral Contraceptives in Women with Moderate to Severe Endometriosis Pain Sampling Cervical and Vaginal Biomarkers in Endometrial Neoplasms
4. Practice Pattern Characteristics of Graduates of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Fellowship Programs.
