Robotic Gynecologic Surgery

Our expert gynecologic surgeons use the da Vinci Surgical System to perform intricate and delicate surgical techniques through tiny incisions (less than half an inch), including single-incision procedures. Specially designed robotic surgical instruments and a telescope are inserted through the incisions, which gives the surgeon a magnified, three-dimensional view of the anatomy. From a console in the operating room, the surgeon controls the movements of the robotic arms, which allows for more precise surgical movements of less than 1/3 of a millimeter. This precision provides a minimally invasive approach for complex gynecologic conditions.

In the past, surgery for conditions such as fibroids or endometriosis typically required large incisions, lengthy hospital stays and long recoveries. However, with robotic procedures, patients typically stay only one night in the hospital and are back to their normal lives within two weeks.

Our certified, expert surgeons have decades of experience in robotic techniques. By using this innovative technology, our surgeons can provide the best procedure for each patient.

Procedures performed robotically include:

• Endometriosis resection
• Hysterectomy
• Myomectomy
• Uterine (endometrial) cancer
