Robotic Surgery

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a technique that uses computer-assisted technology to make repairs or remove diseased or damaged structures.

The team at The Women's Center use the da Vinci robotic surgical system to perform minimally invasive surgeries like:

Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. It’s used to treat chronic and severe health conditions like endometriosis, uterine prolapse, and abnormal uterine bleeding. In addition to the uterus, the ovaries and fallopian tubes may be removed during a hysterectomy.

Myomectomy

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes large fibroids and reconstructs the uterus to treat heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and other fibroid symptoms.

Sacrocolpopexy

Sacrocolpopexy is a surgical treatment to correct uterine prolapse and resolve chronic conditions like pelvic pain, pain with sex, and recurrent urinary tract infections.

What is involved in robotic surgery?

The team at The Women's Center uses the da Vinci surgical system to perform minimally invasive surgeries. This type of surgery requires only small incisions and specialized tools to access the treatment area.

Your surgeon uses a computer-assisted console and wristed instruments to control the surgical instruments that are on robotic arms. The instruments have an attached light and camera that sends back real-time images of the surgical site to your surgeon’s monitor. 

The surgeon is in complete control of the robotic instruments throughout the procedure, making repairs or removing abnormal growths with the highest level of precision.

The Women's Center surgical team offers the convenience of in-office, same-day surgeries for myomectomies, hysterectomies, and sacrocolpopexy.

What are the benefits of robotic surgery?

The providers at The Women's Center can use robotic surgery techniques to treat even complicated conditions without causing unnecessary trauma to your body.

Because this type of surgery requires only small incisions, you can expect to recover faster than you might with traditional open surgery techniques.

Other benefits of robotic surgery include:

• Less pain
• Minimal scarring
• Reduced risk for bleeding
• Fewer post-surgical complications

Following robotic surgery, you can expect less downtime and can return to your usual activities faster than you might with traditional surgery.
