What is da Vinci robotic surgery?

The da Vinci robotic surgery system consists of a set of robotic arms that hold specialized surgical instruments. The robotic arms are controlled by the surgeon at a computer-assisted console. They can operate with a higher level of precision using the robotic technology than they can during traditional laparoscopic surgery.

What da Vinci robotic surgeries are available?

Advanced Women’s Healthcare of Waxahachie can complete many gynecological surgeries using the da Vinci robotic surgery system.

They can use advanced technology to diagnose and treat:

• Endometriosis
• Uterine fibroids
• Pelvic adhesions
• Ovarian cysts and masses

Treatments may include hysterectomy, myomectomy, fulguration, and excision of endometriosis, and/or ovarian cystectomy.

What are the benefits of da Vinci robotic surgery?

Traditional open surgery requires deep incisions that may cut through muscle and other soft tissues. These deep cuts can mean a longer, more painful recovery process. 

During minimally invasive da Vinci robotic surgery, the providers only need to make small incisions, so they can minimize trauma to your body. Smaller incisions also heal faster and with fewer complications than larger, deeper incisions.

Other benefits of da Vinci robotic surgery include:

• Less pain
• Less bleeding
• Reduce risk for infection
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker return to normal activities

The providers at Advanced Women’s Healthcare of Waxahachie can determine if you’re a candidate for da Vinci robotic surgery during your evaluation. They customize a surgical plan to your unique needs to achieve the best outcome. The physicians also provide post-surgical care services to help you heal fully and without complications.
