Robotic-Assisted Gynecological Surgical procedure Supplies Subsequent-Stage Care

Warren Memorial Hospital is now providing robotic-assisted gynecological surgical procedure to reinforce ladies’s care.

Julian E. Martinez, MD, a board-certified doctor in obstetrics and gynecology, performs an array of gynecological surgical procedures utilizing the hospital’s da Vinci Xi robotic system.

“The technology has improved dramatically,” he says. “It has become more simplified, safer and easier to deploy. Robotic gynecological surgeries are becoming the standard of care.”

Robotic gynecological surgical procedure, like conventional laparoscopic surgical procedure, includes working by way of small incisions within the affected person’s pelvic and belly areas. But in comparison with conventional laparoscopic gynecologic surgical procedures, the robotic possibility has two elements that “change everything,” in keeping with Dr. Martinez.

“When doing laparoscopy, we’re putting rigid instruments inside the patient’s abdomen and pelvis while looking at a two-dimensional screen next to us,” he explains. “With robotic surgery, once I have everything installed on the patient’s pelvic area, I sit at a console next to the patient and have my eyes on a camera that gives me a 3D view inside the patient.” This view permits for a extra detailed evaluation of the anatomy and extra correct depth of area.

“The other part of it, which is incredible,” he says, “is that whatever I do with my hands while sitting at the console is duplicated inside the patient. I can accurately guide the instruments to the surgical target.” He compares it to utilizing digital actuality goggles.

Patients who endure robotic gynecological surgical procedure and different robotic surgical procedures typically go house the identical day. There is much less tissue pressure on incisions, resulting in much less tissue trauma, blood loss and ache. Because of the high-definition, three-dimensional view of the affected person’s anatomy, the surgical space might be extra effectively focused, resulting in much less disturbance to the encircling anatomy.

Additionally, the accuracy rendered by the digicam and the regular articulation of the robotic instruments usually interprets to shorter surgical time, which is a win for sufferers, households and docs alike.

Common Robotic-Treated Gynecological Conditions and Surgeries 

• Endometriosis, a situation by which irregular tissue within the pelvis causes ache
• Fallopian tube removing (salpingectomy)
• Hysterectomy, a surgical process to take away the uterus and, in some instances, different reproductive organs just like the cervix and ovaries
• Myomectomy to take away uterine fibroids
