da Vinci® Robotic System

Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has for many years been the standard approach to many gynecologic procedures. Yet with open surgery can come significant pain, trauma, a long recovery process and threat to surrounding organs and nerves. For women facing gynecologic surgery, the period of pain, discomfort and extended time away from normal daily activities that usually follows traditional surgery can understandably cause significant anxiety.

Fortunately, less invasive options are available. Some gynecologic procedures enable surgeons to access the target anatomy using a vaginal approach, which may not require an external incision. But for complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option. Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the Da Vinci System* can operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.

The da Vinci® Surgical System is a proven robotic surgical tool which incorporates high resolution 3D video, fully articulating instruments and state of the art robotic technology to not only increase unparalleled dexterity, precision, and control while performing traditional "open" surgery, but offers a minimally invasive option for many complex procedures.

There are many advantages of minimally invasive surgery using this technology for patients:

  • significantly less pain
  • less blood loss
  • fewer transfusions
  • less risk of wound infection
  • a shorter length of stay
  • a lower rate of complications
  • quicker recovery and return to normal daily activities
  • smaller incisions for improved cosmeesis
  • superior outcomes
