Minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System
When medication and other non-invasive treatments are unable to relieve symptoms, robotic-assisted surgery can provide an effective solution for various gynecologic conditions. The da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex procedures with precision, reducing the need for large incisions.
Benefits of robotic gynecologic surgery
Compared to traditional open gynecologic surgery, which requires a large abdominal incision, robot-assisted procedures offer several key advantages, including less pain and discomfort, minimal scarring because of small incisions, reduced damage to healthy tissues, shorter hospital stays and faster return to normal life and routines.
Conditions treated through surgery
The da Vinci Surgical System is particularly beneficial for treating:
- Ovarian Cancer – A type of cancer that originates in the ovaries and can spread to other parts of the body if not treated early.
- Cervical Cancer – A malignancy of the cervix often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Uterine Cancer – Cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus, also known as endometrial cancer.
- Uterine Fibroids – Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and fertility issues.
- Endometriosis – A condition where the tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to pain and possible fertility problems.
- Menorrhagia (Excessive Bleeding) – Abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that can interfere with daily activities and lead to anemia.
Precision and control for complex procedures
Robot-assisted gynecologic surgery allows for enhanced visualization and control, enabling surgeons to operate with extreme accuracy. This leads to better clinical outcomes and an improved recovery experience for patients.
