Back to TopThe Center for Innovative GYN Care® (CIGC®) globally renowned techniques have been published in prestigious medical journals due to exceptional patient outcomes.
In the comparison of 2,689 patients who underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy procedure (the review included patients who had DualPortGYN®, robotic, or standard laparoscopic surgery), DualPortGYN (also known as laparoscopic retroperitoneal hysterectomy or LRH) clearly showed the best patient outcomes with the lowest complication rates, and 0% conversion to open surgery. The combined intra- and postop complication rate of LRH is 5.4 percent.

In the comparison of 1,313 patients who underwent a myomectomy (the review included patients who had LAAM®, robotic, standard laparoscopic, or open myomectomy procedure), LAAM (laparoscopic assisted abdominal myomectomy) showed the best patient outcomes, including removal of large and multiple fibroids, lowest complication rates, and the lowest conversion to open surgery at 0.7 percent.
The combined intra- and post-op complication rate of LAAM is 9.4 percent.
