Introduction to Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is one of the most important innovations in modern medicine, offering pioneering solutions in the field of gynecology and urogynecology. This technology has transformed the way surgeons approach complex procedures, providing great surgical precision, minimal trauma to the patient, and rapid recovery.
What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery is a method of minimally invasive surgery that uses robotic systems to perform surgical procedures. The robotic system allows surgeons to control surgical instruments with exceptional precision through a control console.
Key Features of Robotic Surgery
- Three-dimensional optical imaging for better visibility
- Precise movements
- Rotational movement of surgical instruments
- Small incisions
- Improved ergonomics for the surgeon
Applications in Gynecology
Robotic surgery is applied mainly in gynecology for:
- Removal of uterine fibroids or hysterectomy
- Treatment of endometriosis
- Oncological conditions
Applications in Urogynecology
Treatment of Uterine Prolapse
Robotic sacrocolpopexy for treating uterine prolapse. The procedure involves placement of synthetic mesh for restoration of normal anatomy. It has very high success rates (>90%), excellent long-term results with zero risk of recurrence.
Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence
Robotic surgery is used mainly in Burch colposuspension and has excellent results.
Conclusions
Robotic surgery is applied in gynecology and urogynecology and provides excellent results with rapid recovery for patients. This technology is becoming increasingly accessible and widespread. For women who need surgical intervention for specific gynecological and urogynecological conditions, robotic surgery represents a safe, effective, and minimally invasive option.
