Camran Nezhat is an American laparoscopic surgeon, reproductive endocrinology and infertility sub-specialist who has been teaching and practicing medicine and surgery as an adjunct clinical professor of surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California since 1993.[1] Nezhat is also chair of the Association of the Adjunct Clinical Faculty, Stanford University School of Medicine,[2] and a clinical professor of OB/GYN at the University of California, San Francisco.[3]

Nezhat 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", a method now widely accepted but which was, until recently, considered a controversial and questionable departure from classical laparotomy or open surgery.[4][5]
