Precision and Innovation in Gynecology: Exploring Robotic-Assisted Surgery
What is Robot-Assisted Gynecological Surgery?
As one of the latest innovations in minimally invasive surgical techniques, gynecologic robotic surgery involves using a robotic system to assist surgeons in performing delicate and complex procedures within the female reproductive system. The most commonly used system is the da Vinci Surgical System, which translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. This minimally invasive approach provides enhanced visualization, dexterity, and control compared to traditional surgery.
Traditional open gynecological surgery often requires larger abdominal incisions. With laparoscopic surgery, surgeons hold and manipulate a scope and instruments through a few small incisions. Robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopy, with the main difference being how surgeons control the surgical tools. Using a narrow, lighted scope and miniature instruments controlled through a robotic system, gynecological surgeons can treat several conditions that affect a woman’s reproductive organs with several benefits to patients such as:
- Less blood loss and reduced need for transfusions.
- Less postoperative pain and discomfort.
- Less scarring.
- Lower risk of infection.
- More precise surgery.
- Quicker recovery and return to work.
- Shorter hospital stays.
We offer Expertise in Gynecologic Robotic Surgery
At Chinese General Hospital, our gynecologic surgeons have the highly specialized training necessary to perform these advanced robotic procedures for best possible outcomes
- Robotic Endometriosis Resection to remove abnormal growths in the pelvic area while preserving the uterus and other organs in place.
- Robotic Hysterectomy to remove the uterus.
- Robotic Myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids, keeping the uterus intact.
- Robotic Sacrocolpopexy to repair pelvic organ prolapse by using surgical mesh to hold organs in their proper position.
- Robotic Oophorectomy to remove one or both ovaries for treating ovarian cysts, cancer, or other issues.
- Robotic Oophorocystectomy to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary, maintaining hormonal function and fertility.
- Other Cancer-Related Surgeries addressing various gynecologic cancers, focused on removing cancerous tissues and optimizing outcomes.
