OBGYN News - Masters Class Series 
Welcome to Ob. Gyn News' Master Class in Gynecologic Surgery, hosted by AAGL SurgeryU. As editor of the Master Class, a past president of the AAGL, and a long standing faculty member of SurgeryU, I am very proud of this collaborative effort between Ob. Gyn News and AAGL.
In this cooperative effort, Ob. Gyn. News and AAGL SurgeryU will be working very closely together to promote education in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. This new collaboratin will allow viewers the opportunity to examine state-of-the-art procedures from true experts in our field. Not only will these videos be accompanied with a summary abstract, but the complete article pertaining to the surgery can be view via a link to Ob. Gyn. News. Again, thank you for your interest and please enjoy this exciting new venture.

Abstract
Master Class in Gynecologic Surgery
Edited by Charles E. Miller, M.D.
Robotic Myomectomy
Robotic myomectomy is advancing, most notably with incorporation of real-time MRI imaging, which enables the surgeon to overcome haptic limitations and to remove multiple fibroids. A 4-arm approach enables the surgeon to manipulate the uterus with one of the instrument arms instead of relying on a bedside assistant having vaginal access to do this task. Similarly, the use of two right-side robotic instruments gives the surgeon flexibility in manipulating the uterus or fibroid(s) and more self-sufficiency in performing various parts of the procedure. For enucleation, a push-spread technique is preferable over significant use of cautery. Closure of the hysterotomy can now be achieved with the use of barbed suture.
