Less Invasive Surgery
Robotic Hysterectomy is a far Less Invasive surgery than traditional open abdominal surgery
Sometimes it is medically necessary for a woman to have her uterus removed because she has a gynecological condition that cannot otherwise be remedied. These conditions include uterine cancer, fibroids, abnormal and excessive bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis and cervical cancer.
Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that lines the uterus grows into the walls of the uterus. This condition is different from endometriosis where the uterine lining implants outside of the uterus.
A total hysterectomy occurs when the cervix and the uterus are both removed. In a partial or subtotal hysterectomy, the cervix is left intact. The ovaries may or may not be removed.
Historically, open abdominal surgery was required to accomplish a hysterectomy, which necessitated either an up and down (vertical) cut or a side to side horizontal ‘bikini’ cut, after which the abdomen was sewn and stapled back together.
As medical knowledge and techniques evolved and advanced, and state of the art optics and Laparoscopic instruments were invented, laparoscopic hysterectomy became the method of choice.
Electrosurgical and ultrasonic instruments made the removal of the uterus possible through incisions that are one-half to one-quarter inch in size, which is significantly smaller than the scars that result from a traditional abdominal hysterectomy. Because the incisions are smaller, there is less blood loss and women are ready to leave the hospital a day after surgery.
Even less invasive than Laparoscopic Surgery is a robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH), which makes use of the same laparoscopic principles, combined with enhanced manipulation of robotic instruments and vastly superior visualization of the surgical field.
Sometimes a woman is not a good candidate for a vaginal hysterectomy. The next-best course of action is a robotic hysterectomy.
During a robotic hysterectomy, the surgeon makes four or five incisions in the abdomen after which he inserts minuscule surgical instruments into these portals, which are the incisions.
The incisions are small compared to the scars that result from a traditional abdominal hysterectomy. Because of the miniaturization of the incisions, there is not as much trauma done to body tissue and, consequently, recovery is going to be faster.
The term “robotic” is used because the physician utilizes control devices, as though he were operating a robot to guide the surgical instruments in the removal of the uterus. The doctor’s hand movements are interpreted by the robotic system and translated into meticulous movements at the tip of the instrument.
When using this Robotic Surgical equipment, the surgeon can execute meticulous movements with the robotic arms, which twist and rotate.
Surgeons that are performing minimally invasive gynecological surgeries are skilled in using robotics that enable the physician to get in between and around organs with ease and precision.
The arms on the robot’s arm can rotate in any direction. Because of the maneuverability of the arms, the complete control over the operation that the doctor has and the exactness which is achieved, robotic hysterectomy is the choice for many women who don’t want to be laid up for a week.
When laparoscopic surgery is done the surgeon is only able to see a two-dimensional image. The Robotic Surgeon sees a three-dimensional image that is superior to two-dimensional.
A robotic hysterectomy allows the patient to recover faster and get back to work and resume normal activities far quicker than she would have if she’d had a traditional hysterectomy. There is less post-operative pain and the abdomen is going to look much better because it isn’t blemished by large scars that may always remain a different color from the rest of the body.
