What you can expect during surgery
This new, minimally invasive approach to gynecologic surgery offers considerable benefits to both open surgery as well as laparoscopic surgery. The da Vinci Surgical System is a state-of-the-art medical device comprised of a surgeon console and a patient-side robotic system with a high-resolution cameral and micro-instruments used in surgery.
The computer enhanced system scales the hand movements of your surgeon at the console down to micro movements of the surgical instruments on the patent-side system. Unlike standard laparoscopic instruments, the specialized da Vinci instruments can articulate and rotate 360 degrees with unparalleled precision and flexibility. The camera of the system provides your surgeon with a remarkably clear, three-dimensional view inside the body.
With the assistance of the da Vinci Surgical System, surgeons can now operate using only 1-2 cm incisions, but with greater precision and control than ever before. The da Vinci Surgical System can help surgeons minimize the pain and risk associated with surgery while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
The surgery is completed with the removal of the instruments and the closure of the small incisions in the abdomen.
