Lisa N.Abaid, M.D.
Robotic and traditional surgical management of ovarian, uterine, and cervical
cancers with simple and radical hysterectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy,
omentectomy, trachelectomy (removal of the cervix), and radical parametrectomy.
Lisa N. Abaid, M.D., MPH, FACOG, FACS, is a gynecologic oncologist in Newport Beach and a member of Gynecologic

the female pelvis, primarily ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer.
Dr. Abaid is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as Gynecologic
Oncology. She is an AAGL Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery (COERS)
designee. Dr. Abaid received extensive training in robotic surgery during
her fellowship and has an interest in minimally-invasive approaches in
the treatment of all gynecologic cancers, especially uterine and cervical
cancer, and early ovarian cancer. She has extensive experience in robotic-assisted
hysterectomy, radical hysterectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy,
and oophorectomy. In addition to performing robotic surgery for gynecologic
cancers, she also treats patients with some benign conditions such as
severe endometriosis and large uterine fibroids.
