Minimally invasive surgery, including robotic surgery, is a treatment for many women’s health conditions like uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse and ovarian cysts.
It is often a safer and more preferred surgical option than traditional open surgery. In minimally invasive surgery, surgeons make smaller and fewer incisions and use small instruments with a camera that gives a clear view of the procedure. This is unlike open surgery, which requires a much larger incision.
Patients typically benefit in a number of ways:
- Faster recovery
- Less pain
- Less scarring
- Decreased blood loss
- Smaller incisions
- Earlier return to normal daily activities
- Shorter hospital stay
