Gynecological Surgery - da Vinci ^®

A minimally invasive approach to gynecological surgery

Robotic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach to hysterectomy and other procedures such as fibroid removal, endometriosis surgery, endometrial/cervical cancer surgery, and vaginal/uterine prolapse.

For years, the standard approach to hysterectomy has been traditional open gynecological surgery using a larger incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy.

Using the da Vinci® robotic surgical system, surgeons at Hialeah Hospital can perform hysterectomy through small incisions, using mechanically enhanced micro instruments.

Robotic surgery is designed to operate with control to minimize the pain and risk associated with large incisions increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery.

Potential patient benefits may include:

• Less need for pain medication
• Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
• Fewer complications and lower conversion rate
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker recovery and fast return to normal daily activities
• Smaller incisions
