Robotic and Computer-Assisted Surgery

When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions.

Now minimally invasive procedures, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, can reduce the risks, pain and recovery times associated with gynecological surgeries.

Compare:

Open Surgery	da Vinvi Surgery System
Large abdominal incision	Small 1-cm punctures instead of incision
2 - 3 month recovery period	Average 2 WEEK recovery period
8 - 10 day hospital stay after surgery	Most patients leave hospital the day after surgery
	Robotic arms have 360° range of motion. Can move in some ways human hands can not
	Camera magnifies the surgical area so surgeon has a very clear view of field

Procedures that can utilize the da Vinci Surgery System:

Total laporascopic hysterectomy
Radical hysterctomy for early cervical cancer
Lymph nodes dissection
Staging surgery for ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) - Surgery to remove both ovaries and both fallopian tubes
Colposcopy
