Robotic Gynecologic Surgery

 

What is Robotic Gynecologic Surgery?

Robotic gynecologic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that employs advanced robotic technology to perform intricate procedures with precision. The system consists of a robotic arm controlled by a skilled surgeon, allowing for enhanced dexterity and improved visualization during surgery.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery:

Robotic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery:

  • Minimized scarring: Smaller incisions result in less scarring, promoting better cosmetic outcomes.
  • Faster recovery: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times.
  • Reduced pain: Minimally invasive techniques often lead to less postoperative pain.
  • Precise procedures: The robotic system provides enhanced precision and control during surgery.
  • Lower risk of infection: Smaller incisions reduce the risk of postoperative infections.

Conditions Treated with Robotic Surgery:

Robotic surgery is a versatile tool for addressing various gynecological conditions, including:

  • Uterine fibroids: Robotic surgery can be used to remove fibroids or perform a hysterectomy.
  • Endometriosis: Precise excision of endometrial tissue is possible with robotic assistance.
    Pelvic organ prolapse: Robotic surgery can help restore the pelvic organs to their proper position.
  • Ovarian cysts: Minimally invasive techniques can be employed to remove cysts.
  • Gynecologic cancers: Robotic surgery allows for accurate tumor removal and lymph node dissection.
