The Laparoscopic Tubal Reversal Center is headed by Dr. Carlos Rotman,  a board-certified Gynecologic Surgeon, certified Laparoscopic Surgeon, and Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Rush Medical College.
Dr. Rotman's interest in laparoscopy dates back to his gynecology residency days in the 1970s. In 1980, together with Dr. Harrith Hasson and Dr. Nasir Rana, he started to use laparoscopy as a safe and effective way to perform pelvic and abdominal surgery.
The first project was to improve access to the peritoneal cavity with a minimum of possible complications, and the result was the modified technique of open laparoscopy, now in use all over the world.
New operative procedures demanded the creation and development of new techniques and instrumentation. These challenges resulted in the introduction of the Stable Access Cannula (SAC), instruments to facilitate intra-abdominal suturing and tying (Easy-Knot), and the creation of the SLAM (Simplified Laparoscopic Abdominal Morcellation) technique for removal of large specimens without resorting to abdominal or vaginal incisions.
Recognized in 1994 with the Golden Laparoscope Award by the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists for their technique of Laparoscopic Pelvic Lymphadenectomy, as well as with many other national and international awards, Dr. Rotman and his associates have enjoyed great recognition and respect for their pioneering and ongoing work, teaching, and research geared to improving the quality of life of women worldwide.
