On Wednesday, September 17 at 6 p.m. PinnacleHealth will broadcast a minimally invasive hysterectomy, performed by Gregory Willis, DO, online. During the broadcast, Dr. Willis, surgeon and gynecologic oncologist at PinnacleHealth, will complete a total hysterectomy with lymph node dissection for actual staging of uterine cancer. Dr. Willis will be available to answer questions electronically from the online audience during the premiere.

Since 2007, Dr. Willis and his partner, Jose Misas, MD, have performed more than 70 surgeries with the assistance of the da Vinci® S™ surgical system. This minimally invasive technique reduces the chance of infection, shortens hospital stay and improves recovery time.
