Congratulations to the Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Division Team! We are thrilled to announce that under the outstanding surgical leadership of Dr. Nicole Massad, Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the team has successfully performed the first-ever transabdominal robotic cerclage at UIC. This groundbreaking procedure marks a major milestone not only for the division and the Department of OBGYN but also for the advancement of care for women suffering from cervical insufficiency.

This innovative approach, which aims to improve pregnancy outcomes, is a premier procedure at UIC, and possibly the first of its kind in both Chicago and the state of Illinois. Congratulations to Dr. Massad and the entire team for their dedication, expertise, and commitment to advancing women’s health!

Your pioneering work is truly setting new standards in obstetric care at UIC.
