"Minimally invasive robotic surgery has revolutionized the treatment of women with endometrial, or uterine, cancer. Robotic surgery allows surgeons, in most cases, to perform surgery through small incisions with better visibility using three-dimensional cameras and magnification. NHRMC's Robotics Program is based in a tertiary hospital with high volumes of patients and well-trained, experienced medical and support staff that is uncommon for a community this size."
