The National Institute of Robotic Surgery at Mercy Medical
Center presents the 14th annual Robotic Surgery Conference,
"IMSWAY: A Systematic Approach to Advanced Robotic Gynecologic
Surgery," Oct. 3-5. 2024 at The Four
Seasons Hotel, 200 International Drive in downtown Baltimore, MD.
According to Course Director Dwight D.
Im, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., this CME (continuing medical
education) program is regarded as one of the preeminent courses on
Gynecologic Robotic Surgery with participants from all across the
country and around the world. Dr. Im has assembled a notable
faculty panel to provide the most up-to-date and relevant material
relevant to robotic surgery for today's minimally invasive
gynecologic surgeon.
The program is designed for training and practicing robotic
surgeons, surgical first assistants, allied health professionals as
well as medical personnel interested in advancing their knowledge
of minimally invasive robotic surgery.
Participating course faculty will offer experience, insights and
best-in-practice standards to ensure attendees gain clinical
knowledge and a better understanding of robotic surgery.
According to Dr. Im, this year's conference will address such
topics as the robotic debulking of ovarian cancer; navigating
endometriosis; managing intraoperative hemorrhage; radical
hysterectomy for cervical cancer, and the "IMSWAY" approach in
robotic surgery.
"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. 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 – IMSWA or IMSWAY," Dr. Im
explained.
The National Institute of Robotic Surgery is led by Dr.
Dwight Im, Director, The Gynecologic
Oncology Center at Mercy. Dr. Im is the first Gynecologic Oncology
Epicenter Surgery in the nation and one of the first six physicians
in the country trained to perform robotic single-site gynecologic
surgery. The National Institute of Robotic Surgery at Mercy offers
surgical procedures performed by physician experts in multiple
specialties and sub-specialties, including Urology, General
Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Gynecology and Gynecologic
Oncology.
