Fellows will work with a high volume of complex gynecologic patients with benign disease who would benefit from a minimally invasive approach. Fellows will rotate at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and Johns Hopkins Howard County General Hospital. Each fellow will have exposure to a variety of minimally invasive surgical approaches including operative hysteroscopy, advanced laparoscopy and robotic surgery — to manage complex benign gynecologic disorders, fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding and endometriosis.
