Computer-Assisted Surgery for Women
Robotic gynecologic surgery refers to a group of medical treatments that use robotic technology and often 3D imaging to assist in the surgical process. Robotic gynecologic surgery can be utilized to treat many different conditions that affect women worldwide.
Issues Often Treated By Robotic Surgery:
How Does Computer-Assisted Gynecologic Surgery Work?
Traditional surgery features one or more large incisions at the site where the surgery will be performed. Computer-assisted surgery instead makes several small incisions in the side. This is known as a laparoscopic approach.
During robotic gynecologic surgery, tiny surgical tools are inserted through the incisions. These tools typically include an imaging device that allows the surgeon to view a magnified 3D image of the surgical site.
Using this image, the surgeon is able to manipulate the surgical tools with extreme precision. During the robotic procedure, the surgeon has 100% control over the surgery. Because it features small incisions and is performed laparoscopically, robotic surgery has many benefits:
- Shorter operation time, hospital stay, downtime, and recovery period
- Decreased infection risk and reduced scar appearance
Robotic gynecologic surgery can be used to treat many different conditions – and is sometimes used to perform a hysterectomy. The only way to determine if you're a suitable candidate for robotic surgery is to call us and discuss your needs.
