Center for Special Minimally Invasive Surgery

The Center for Special Minimally Invasive Surgery (CSMIS) is a world-renowned medical facility specializing in advanced laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. Founded and led by Dr. Camran Nezhat, a pioneer often referred to as the father of modern operative laparoscopy, the center focuses on treating complex gynecological conditions such as severe endometriosis, fibroids, and infertility. CSMIS is recognized for developing innovative surgical techniques, including video-laparoscopy, which allow for complex procedures to be performed through tiny incisions. The center serves as a global hub for high-end clinical care, surgical research, and the training of medical professionals in minimally invasive methodologies. Its work has significantly contributed to the shift from traditional open surgery to outpatient laparoscopic procedures in gynecology and beyond.
