Webcast: From PinnacleHealth: September 17, 2008 6:00 PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
HARRISBURG, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/17/08 -- 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 a
patient diagnosed with 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 VinciĀ® S(TM) surgical
system. This minimally invasive technique reduces the chance of
infection, shortens hospital stay and improves recovery time.
"We are able to perform highly complicated procedures through minimally
invasive means," says Dr. Willis.
