Some issues Dr. Nadeem R. Abu-Rustum, MD, FACOG can help you with:

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a kind of minimally invasive surgery using a thin, narrow tube called a laparoscope. Usually performed on the abdomen or the pelvic region, the surgeon makes a few very small incisions instead of one large one.

During the procedure, the surgeon inserts the laparoscope, which contains a light and camera that allows the surgeon to see what is happening inside the body. Then tiny tools are placed through the small openings and used to perform the surgery.

The most common laparoscopic surgery is gallbladder removal, but laparoscopic surgery may also be used for the removal of a kidney or appendix, to treat certain cysts and tumors, for bariatric surgery, for some GERD treatments, or for hernia repairs, among others.

Because laparoscopic surgery only uses a few tiny incisions, the scars are minimal and recovery is easier than with open surgery.

In The News

“"(The tumors) are a little bit subtle in their symptoms until they become large enough or spread quite a bit in the pelvis and in the abdomen to give the patients the more concerning symptoms,"...”—"Fallopian Tube Removal for Ovarian Cancer Prevention: Benefits, Risks and Recovery", Washington Top News, March 2024

“Dr. Nadeem R. Abu-Rustum, who is president of Memorial Sloan Kettering's medical staff, said the policy changes were "well-received" by employees.”—"Memorial Sloan Kettering Curbs Executives' Ties to Industry After Conflict-of-Interest Scandals (Published 2019)", New York Times, January 2019
