Camran Nezhat, M.D., M.D., FACOG, FACS is an Iranian-born American laparoscopic surgeon reproductive endocrinology and infertility sub-specialist who has been teaching and practicing medicine and surgery as a clinical professor of surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California since 1993. He is a pioneer and leading practitioner in the field of laparoscopic surgery, also referred to as minimally invasive, endoscopic, keyhole, and Band-Aid surgery. Nezhat is best known for the surgical innovation referred to as video-laparoscopy or “operating off the monitor” for performing advanced operative video-laparoscopy, a method and philosophy now accepted as the gold standard for all forms of endoscopic surgery, but which was, until recently, considered a controversial and questionable departure from classical surgery (aka, laparotomy or open surgery).
