Robotic Surgery Videos

Take a look at the following videos to get an inside look of what happens during robotic surgery and to hear testimonials from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) patients who have benefited from robotic surgery.

Gynecologic Oncology

• Myomectomy and Radical Hysterectomy with Robotic Assistance – See and hear BWH patients’ experiences with robot-assisted myomectomy and hysterectomy, from their consideration of the surgery to their recovery, as well as interviews with Antonio Rosario Gargiulo, MD, Serene Srouji, MD, and Colleen Feltmate, MD.

Reproductive Surgery

• 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.
• Robotic Myomectomy: The Latest Tool in Fertility-Enhancing Surgery – This video features a patient who had a robotic myomectomy performed at BWH by Antonio Rosario Gargiulo, MD.
• 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. The video 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.
• Conventional Laparoscopic Myomectomy with Robotic Reconstruction: A Safe Hybrid Procedure for Large Myomata – To get a sense of the clarity and magnification provided by the robotic camera and the nimble movements enabled by the robotic arms, watch the following video, narrated by Antonio Rosario Gargiulo, MD,  featuring detailed footage of a myomectomy performed by Dr. Gargiulo and Serene Srouji, MD.
• Robotic Adenomyomectomy - This surgical video shows detailed footage of an adenomyomectomy performed at BWH. The procedure involves the theremoval of endometriosisfrom the uterus and the subsequent reconstruction ofthe uterine wall.
• Myomectomy and Radical Hysterectomy with Robotic Assistance – See and hear BWH patients’ experiences with robot-assisted myomectomy and hysterectomy, from their consideration of the surgery to their recovery, as well as interviews with Antonio Rosario Gargiulo, MD, Serene Srouji, MD, and Colleen Feltmate, MD.

Urology

• Prostate Cancer Video – This video tells the story of a BWH patient who opted for robotic surgery, performed by Jim C. Hu, MD, MPH, to treat his prostate cancer.
• Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy Videos – These video clips show surgical footage of five important stages of a robot-assisted prostatectomy performed by Jim C. Hu, MD, MPH.
