Traditional open surgery requires larger incisions to allow your doctor to see the area where you need treatment. In contrast, minimally invasive surgery typically requires small incisions.
Your Comprehensive Women’s OB/GYN doctor can still treat you with these smaller incisions, and your recovery time is usually shorter. You also may experience less bleeding and pain with this surgical option.
The skilled surgical team at Comprehensive Women’s OB/GYN performs several types of minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopy and robotic surgery.
Comprehensive Women’s OB/GYN providers recommend this type of minimally invasive surgery to treat:
Laparoscopy also can correct pelvic floor disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse, where your bladder, uterus, or rectum drop into your vagina.
The da Vinci robotic system is an advancement in minimally invasive surgical technology. This form of surgery is performed in a hospital as you lie next to the da Vinci robotic system. Your doctor sits next to you, operating through a surgical console.
The console translates their movements in real-time to the robotic arms, which hold small surgical instruments. The arms perform your surgery through tiny incisions as directed by your doctor.
The experts at Comprehensive Women’s OB/GYN recommend this form of surgery to perform a hysterectomy, to remove large or hard-to-reach fibroids, and to perform other gynecologic surgeries.
The da Vinci robotic hysterectomy surgery offers several potential benefits over a laparoscopic hysterectomy and traditional surgeries, including:
After this minimally invasive option, you also may be able to return to your daily activities more quickly.
