Robotic Gynecologic Surgery

State-of-the-Art Women’s Health Services in New Jersey

More and more surgeons are promoting robotic surgery as the future of interventional medicine. If you are not comfortable with the idea of a machine performing surgery on you, do not worry. Robotic surgery is still performed by a human surgeon, the only difference is that they are controlling highly precise system equipped with cameras and surgical tools. Robotic systems can perform surgeries with only a few, strategic incisions and are fully controlled by a skilled, specially-trained surgeon.

Examples of robotic surgeries

Robotic surgical systems have been designed to perform numerous advanced gynecological procedures. Implementation of the robotic systems have made these surgeries safer and resulted in faster recovery times for the patients.

Robotic surgery has become a popular option for the following procedures:

• Hysterectomy – Hysterectomies are currently ranked as the second most common surgery in the United States. Compared to open surgery, traditional laparoscopy, and vaginal surgeries, robotic hysterectomies have proven to have reduced risks of complication, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays.
• Sacrocolopexy – This surgery is used to reconstruct the pelvis and vagina after pelvic prolapse. Robotic sacrocolopexies are still relatively new but have already resulted in shorter hospital stays and less blood loss than open surgery and traditional laparoscopy.
• Myomectomy – Operations to remove uterine fibroids are called myomectomies. Not only do robotic myectomies mean reduced risk of complications, shorter hospital stays and less blood loss, rates of post-operative fevers have also lowered with these state-of-the-art systems.

Our surgeons have been specially trained on our robotic systems. We will guide you through your procedure from beginning to end. If you prefer not to have robotic surgery, our team is also experienced in traditional laparoscopy and open surgery.
