Dr. Arleen Song

Dr. Arleen Song is a Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon at Duke Health in Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Song became interested in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery due to the positive impact that this type of surgery can have on women’s lives. She says that, "Women can now have surgeries that in the past would have required several nights in the hospital as an outpatient procedure via robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, minilaparotomy and hysteroscopy". Dr. Song's approach to patient care is based on the understanding that each woman she sees is an individual with different medical needs, values and concerns. Together they will collaborate to find the best and most appropriate plan for her whether that be surgical or medical management. Dr. Song has focused her clinical interests on the surgical and medical treatment of uterine fibroids, abnormal and postmenopausal bleeding, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and finding alternatives to hysterectomy. She has a particular interest in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for myomectomies and complex hysterectomies.
