Gynecology & Robotic Hysterectomy
Obstetrics and gynecology robotic hysterectomy is the state of the art procedure when removing the uterus due to endometrial cancer, or dysmenorrhoeafrom endometriosis.
“What is a hysterectomy?” and “what is robotic surgery?” are the first questions asked by women that are given the option of robotic hysterectomy for their endometriosis or endometrial cancer.
Obstetrics and gynecology surgeons use robotic hysterectomy to minimize scaring, reduce the time it takes to heal, and because the da Vinci surgical system has multiple tools that increase the surgeons capability. The da Vinci robot allows Dr. Weiss to perform surgery with a magnified view of the surgical site. The da Vinci robot also allows our gynecologic surgeons to control the laparoscopic instruments with micro-fine movements. The da Vinci surgical system brings the surgeons cutting, cauterizing, grasping, and suturing up close with its magnified view, and perform surgery with extreme precision using the micro-fine movement, but the da Vinci robot hardware and software help to reduce the shaking of the surgical instruments that naturally occurs during manual surgery. Dr. Simon Weiss is an experienced robotic surgeon which means a lot when it comes to patient outcomes. Multiple studies show that an experienced robotic surgeon clearly has skills that the beginning robotic surgeon and surgeons that have performed less than three hundred robotic surgeries have. The Da Vinci system also creates a 3D image of the surgical site with its software and optical system.
Robotic hysterectomy – Hysterectomy is one of the most prevalent procedures in women’s health and by far the most common in non-pregnant women. It is for this reason, and the need to have a safe and effective surgery that has led to the widespread use of robotic surgery. A robotic hysterectomy may be performed for various types of cancers or for disorders that cause pain and bleeding.
Robotic hysterectomy surgery is already in use by hospitals with many patients embracing it. This minimally invasive surgery technique is recommended over vaginal hysterectomy as the latter does not allow adequate inspection of the abdomen and pelvis. The surgeon that performs the robotic hysterectomy is a specially trained gynecologist.
In theory, robotics can allow a surgeon to operate remotely, working with a console miles away. However, robotic hysterectomy is usually performed with surgeons being in the same room as the patient. One surgeon sits at the console while surgical assistants stand next to the patient.
What is robotic surgery? Today surgery is performed in multiple modalities. Robotic surgery is one of the newest paradigms bringing stability, less physical stress on the surgeon, exacting incisions, and the ability to minimize bleeding and infections as well as smaller incisions and quicker healing times. Experience (Importance of experience) is important when choosing your surgeon for robotic surgery.
Robotic surgery evolved out of laparoscopic surgery which is performed with several poles that the surgeons hold through a small slit in the skin. One of the poles has a camera on the end which allows the surgeon to watch what they are doing on a monitor. This allows the patient to have several tiny one inch incisions instead of the traditional large incision that the surgeons hand can fit into. Less cutting usually means less bleeding and less scar tissue.
