Da Vinci hysterectomy
A da Vinci hysterectomy is a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus, using the da Vinci Surgical System.
The surgeon sits at a console to control the robotic arms that hold specialized instruments.
The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise movements of the instruments inside the patient’s abdomen.
A camera provides a magnified, 3D view of the surgical site, enhancing visualization.
The procedure uses multiple small incisions, rather than one large one.
Benefits of the da Vinci hysterectomy
➔Less invasive: The use of small incisions reduces trauma to the body compared to open surgery.
➔Faster recovery: Patients often experience shorter hospital stays, potentially going home in 24 hours, and a quicker return to normal activities.
➔Reduced pain: Many patients report less pain after the procedure and require less pain medication.
➔Lower risk of infection: Smaller incisions reduce the risk of infection.
➔Minimal scarring: The small incisions result in less noticeable scars.
