Robotic Surgery
Technology in service of women’s health
What is robotic surgery
Robotic surgery represents the most advanced development in minimally invasive procedures, allowing gynecologists to perform complex operations with utmost precision, stability, and flexibility. Utilizing a robotic system (such as Da Vinci), it enhances the surgeon’s capabilities without removing human control.
In gynecology, robotic access has significantly improved surgical safety, postoperative recovery, and long-term outcomes.
Procedures where robotic surgery is applied
Total or subtotal hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus with or without the cervix, even in challenging cases or after previous surgeries.
Myomectomy (fibroid removal)
Accurate removal while preserving healthy uterine tissue and reducing bleeding.
Endometriosis surgery
Facilitates the removal of deep lesions while preserving fertility.
Pelvic organ prolapse repair
Including robotic sacrocolpopexy to restore pelvic floor support.
Technical features and advantages
Robotic surgery is not automated but is fully controlled by a trained surgeon via a console. It offers three-dimensional, high-definition imaging that provides depth and detail throughout the surgical field. It eliminates the natural tremor of human hands through stabilized robotic arms. The instruments act like mini “wrists,” enabling micro-movements and complex maneuvers that are otherwise impossible.
This approach causes minimal tissue trauma, which leads to less postoperative pain, fewer adhesions, and quicker recovery.
Benefits for the patient
Faster recovery and return to daily activities
Most patients recover within a few days.
Less pain and reduced need for painkillers
Tissue-friendly technique lowers the need for medication.
Smaller incisions and better cosmetic results
Typically involves 3–4 tiny incisions that heal quickly and are barely visible.
Lower risk of complications
Including reduced bleeding, infections, and postoperative adhesions compared to open surgery.
What women should know before and after the surgery
Proper information and preparation enhance cooperation, calmness, and safety throughout the robotic surgery process. General anesthesia is required, and the procedure is performed in a fully equipped operating room with full medical support. It typically lasts 1–3 hours depending on complexity, and hospital stay is usually no more than 24 hours.
Gentle mobilization begins the same day, and follow-up with a specialized gynecologist ensures smooth recovery and optimal outcomes.
Robotic surgery in gynecology brings the future of medicine into today’s clinical practice, enhancing safety, precision, and the woman’s confidence in her care. With respect for the body and its needs, it offers new opportunities that improve not only medical outcomes but also the overall personal experience.
