PROVIDENCE – Becoming the first hospital in the state to do so, Hasbro Children’s Hospital is now offering minimally invasive pediatric urologic surgeries.
The laparoscopic and robotic operations are less invasive alternatives to open surgery and are being performed by Dr. Liza Aguiar, who recently joined the division of urology at Hasbro.
Aguiar, who also teaches at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, treats newborns, children, adolescents and young adults with a range of genitourinary conditions.
“Robotic surgery is a growing field in pediatric urology, and one that is incredibly valuable to our young patients,” said Aguiar. “We are able to make precise surgical maneuvers by taking advantage of technology that increases surgical dexterity, improves magnification and utilizes three-dimensional imagery.”
