Alexis Dominguez MD is an OB/GYN who trained in Costa Rica and the United States. Since completing his residency at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital, he has worked at OB/GYN Associates LLC in Miami, and been a voluntary Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is currently a staff OB/GYN physician at Cardella Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Uro-gynecology.
Alexis Dominguez MD received special training in Minimally Invasive Surgery and in the Da Vinci Robotics System. He says that as its name implies, Minimally Invasive Surgery are increasingly common techniques that are performed through tiny incisions in the patient's body, rather than in one large opening, as it has traditionally been done. The benefits to that are that the patient receives the same results from the surgery, but because of the smaller incisions has a faster recovery time and less discomfort and scarring.
"With the advent of robotic surgery – and not just robotic, but minimally invasive surgery as a whole – I think in our specialty we are offering the patient a less invasive form of obtaining procedures that are commonly performed now," Alexis Dominguez MD days. "Days with, if not better results, then equal results to what the standard of care is, with added benefits, such as less pain, less days in the hospital – operative days in the hospital. Patients tend to go home twenty-four hours after the surgery, for the most part, and they do very very well."
And as for large, extensive post-operative scars? "They're a thing of the past."
