Robotic Surgery in Gynaecology

Robotic surgery in gynaecology is an advanced, minimally invasive technique that utilizes a robotic-assisted system to elevate surgical precision. The procedure is performed using small incisions, robotic arms, and a high-definition 3D camera, giving surgeons an enhanced view of the operating field. This technology allows for unparalleled accuracy, making it particularly effective for complex conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and certain gynaecological cancers.

What is Robotic Surgery in Gynaecology?

Precision and Control

• Robotic tools allow for precise movements and increased access to previously inaccesible areas, enabling the surgeon to thoroughly remove diseased tissues whilst protecting healthy organs

• This precision is particularly beneficial for conditions like endometriosis, where abnormal tissue may grow in sensitive areas such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, ureter and bowel.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery in Gynaecology

Minimally Invasive

• Small incisions result in reduced scarring, less pain, and quicker recovery times compared to laparoscopic and open surgery.

Enhanced Visualization

• The 3D, high-definition camera provides a magnified view of the surgical area with the camera being able to reach deeper anatomical spaces allowing multiple viewing angles, giving a much better view than traditional laparoscopic systems. This enables the surgeons to identify and treat conditions with greater accuracy.

Robotic surgery is particularly effective for addressing challenging gynaecological conditions, including:

• Endometriosis: Allows the surgeon to locate and remove endometriotic tissue in hard-to-reach areas with precision.

• Uterine Fibroids: Enables the removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus.

• Hysterectomy: Facilitates a safer and more efficient removal of the uterus for various medical reasons.

• Gynaecological Cancers: Offers a precise approach to remove cancerous tissues while minimizing damage to surrounding organs.
