Focus on da Vinci® Hysterectomy Surgery:
Meet our Gynecologic da Vinci Surgeons!
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 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.
