Reasons to Choose a Robotic Hysterectomy

The hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures women undergo, second to cesarean sections. It is used as a means to alleviate many different problems, alleviating symptoms that have not been able to be solved with other methods. Women who have had such problems as uterine prolapse, cancerous and noncancerous tumors, endometriosis, and an array of other issues including abnormal bleeding, have resorted to hysterectomies to solve the issue.

Advantages of Having a Robotic Hysterectomy

While the traditional surgery performed for a hysterectomy has been widely successful, offering very positive results, the robotic hysterectomy advances this concept further through the use of the most innovative technology. For those who seek a cutting-edge approach to an often-needed procedure, the benefits of robotic surgery are many. With a robotic hysterectomy, a smaller incision is used, enabling a less invasive approach. As a result, shorter hospital stays are common, and recovery tends to be easier, faster, and less painful. The procedure also offers a lower risk of complications, such as blood clots, infections, or bleeding.

Most women who have a robotic hysterectomy performed typically do not stay longer than one night in the hospital following surgery. Some pain afterward is to be expected, and during your time in the hospital, you will receive pain medication to manage it. You will be encouraged to walk as soon as possible, as this will ensure a faster recovery. Full recovery can be expected to occur in a period ranging from several days to several weeks.

How Are Robotic Hysterectomies Performed?

Robotic hysterectomies, like standard hysterectomies, are performed while the patient is under general anesthesia, allowing them to be asleep while the procedure is done. Utilizing the innovative approach of the da Vinci® System for robotic surgeries, Dr. Shakiba is able to perform the surgery with a greater level of precision as a result of the method’s allowance of fine movements using a 3D, high-definition medical instrument, compared to the more limited options of traditional surgery methods.
