Robotic Surgery
At the Division of Urogynecology, we focus our energy on becoming frontrunners of the latest minimally invasive and robotic urogynecologic surgical approaches. Our experts are extremely skilled at using a robot-assisted approach, which allows us to offer minimally invasive surgery to more women than ever before. By implementing the latest cutting-edge technology, we can perform precise procedures with more accuracy and control than ever before, which means fewer incisions, less recovery time and less pain after surgery.
Our specialists encourage open communication and can answer any questions you may have. We listen to your concerns before developing a treatment plan that is unique to you, always keeping your priorities top-of-mind. We’ll make sure you understand exactly how your condition is affecting you, what your options are and what you can expect throughout the treatment process. Because we don’t just treat your condition - we work hard to make sure your path to recovery is as easy and short as possible.
What is robotic surgery?
Robotic-assisted surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery, performed through a few small incisions. During robotic-assisted surgery, your surgeon controls the da Vinci surgical system through a special console in the room.
What makes robotic surgery different than open surgery?
The da Vinci’s vision capabilities give your surgeon a highly magnified, crystal-clear, 3D view while operating, so he or she can see the fine details of your surgery. Your surgeon uses tiny instruments that fit through small incisions to make precise movements and access hard-to-reach places beyond the limits of the human hand.
What are the benefits of robotic surgery to patients?
Robotic surgery has been associated with shorter length of hospital stay, fewer complications, and lower blood loss.
