When Michael Pasquale, MD, began as a trauma surgeon at LVHN, he only expected to stay for three to five years. That was in 1993. Today, he’s Chair of the Department of Surgery as well as the Physician-in-Chief of Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence. In this edition, he discusses the impact of robotic surgery, a new app that’s changing communication to families during surgery and the future of surgery at LVHN.
