It shows the appreciation of our achievements on a European scale. The achievements are evidenced, for example, by statistics on the significant increase in minimally invasive procedures in gynecology. For example, the number of minimally invasive uterine removal surgeries has increased from 10 percent to 55 percent in eight years. Minimally invasive gynecology is safer for patients, the number of complications is decreasing significantly. This is a path we are heading down very consistently," explains Prof. Rafal Stojko.
