Minimally Invasive Robotic Hysterectomy Dramatically Reduces Risks and Recovery Time

What is a robotic hysterectomy?

Robotic hysterectomy uses high-definition 3D magnification, miniature instruments, and technology to enhance a surgeon's accuracy when performing a partial, total, or radical hysterectomy.

Unlike a traditional hysterectomy, which requires a large incision and retraction to allow human hands, the minimally invasive da Vinci® Surgical System uses small incisions in the abdomen for the slender robotic arms and tiny surgical tools. The enhanced visualization, precision, and dexterity provide a safer method for working around the bladder, blood vessels, and nerves, thereby avoiding possible injury.

What are the benefits of a robotic hysterectomy?

The enhanced vision, miniaturization, increased range of motion, and mechanical precision of robot-assisted hysterectomy offers significant benefits for our patients, including:

• Quicker recovery time
• Less post-surgical pain/less medication
• Decreased blood loss
• Less scarring
• Fewer complications
