The da Vinci system makes it possible to perform surgery through a few small incisions about the size of your fingertip, and if you are a good candidate, your surgery might be performed through one single incision.
With the da Vinci system, your surgeon sits at a console near you in the operating room. The console enables your surgeon to control a camera and the tiny instruments used to perform your surgery.
The system delivers 3D high-definition views, giving your surgeon a crystal-clear view of the surgical area magnified 10 times what the human eye sees.
It translates every movement your surgeon makes in real time, bending and rotating instruments that move like a human hand, but with a greater range of motion. Built-in tremor filtration technology helps your surgeon move each instrument with smooth precision.
In most cases, you will be going home the same day.
Rapid return to your normal activities and work
In fact, you loose more blood in one day of a heavy period than your robotic hysterectomy
In fact, you get up on your feet few hours after the procedure, you will need much less pain medications
If you’ve been diagnosed with a gynecological health condition that requires treatment, robotic surgery may be indicated for a variety of conditions:
Endometriosis
Uterine Fibroids
Cysts
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Certain Cancers
Much like any minimally invasive procedure, your doctor or specialist will give you specific instructions about how to prepare for surgery.
Often, these include avoiding blood thinning medications and alcohol for a period of time before the procedure and potentially fasting for several hours before the procedure.
Because anesthetics are used, prepare to have a ride home from the outpatient facility after the procedure as you will not be able to drive
While every surgical procedure carries certain risks, robotic surgery has been associated with positive treatment outcomes and to a degree, minimized side effects after surgery. During your appointment, we'll discus this further.
Key issues around gynecological surgery include bleeding and infection and injury to other surround organs
