There are many reasons why a woman may choose to have, or need a hysterectomy. A
hysterectomy is the removal, or partial removal of the uterus. The uterus is the large, hollow,
female organ that resides in the female pelvis between the bladder and the rectum. It is where a
fetus grows once an egg has been fertilized.
Hysterectomy statistics include:
⢠10% of Hysterectomies are performed because of (due to) cancer
⢠30% of Hysterectomies are performed because of (due to) Fibroid Tumors
⢠20% of Hysterectomies are performed to eliminate pain caused by Endometriosis
⢠16% of Hysterectomies are performed to repair a prolapsed Uterus.
⢠The remaining 24% of Hysterectomies are performed for reasons such as recurrence of pain
and heavy bleeding, severe infection, and post delivery trauma.
Regardless of the reason a woman might be receiving a hysterectomy it is still a big decision,
which accompanies an understandable amount of stress. Today, the complications following a
hysterectomy can be lessened with new tools, techniques and medical technologies. The
gynecologists at the Womenâs Specialists of Plano use a system called the da Vinci robotic
surgery which makes the entire surgery and recovery process a lot simpler than it once was.
The robotics hysterectomy da Vinci system is a highly technical system of small, precise,
electronic tools that robotically assist a physician in surgically removing the reproductive organs
without causing major incisions or long recovery periods. The list of pros for a robotics
hysterectomy includes:
⢠Less pain
⢠Fewer complications
⢠Less blood loss
⢠Shorter hospital stay
⢠Low risk of wound infection
⢠Quicker recovery and return to normal activities
What is robotic surgery? Itâs a fairly simple process. The da Vinci robotic surgery allows doctors
to see the organs through a microscope via a 3d screen without the need to make large
incisions. The robotic arms of the da Vinci allows precise movement and act as the surgeon's
hands eliminating unsteadiness. The surgery leaves the patient with just a couple of very tiny
incisions that usually do not require sutures.
OBGYNâs are constantly asked âWhat is robotic surgery and how will it benefit me?â from
patients. Two Womenâs Specialists of Plano recipients of robotics hysterectomy recently
provided the following feedback regarding their recent procedures:
According to Patricia, âAfter battling breast cancer and going through numerous surgeries, the
last thing I wanted to do was go under the knife again. But when my OBGYN found a benign
tumor on my ovary, he recommended a hysterectomy. The first thing that came to my mind was
2. that I would be left in a considerable amount of pain because of a huge incision and out of work
for six to eight weeks. After looking at my specific situation, we decided on the robotic
hysterectomy method. The surgery was fast and I was in recovery within a very short period of
time. I barely had to take any painkillers and I had no complications whatsoever. My scars are
barely visible. Even after one week, I felt good enough to go back to work, but still stayed home
because of my doctorâs advice. I would recommend the robotic hysterectomy to anyone
considering a hysterectomy.â
Sharon, another patient who underwent a hysterectomy via da Vinci robotic surgery, shares a
similar experience.
âAfter several years of experiencing inconsistent, crampy, long periodsâcoupled with abnormal
and inconclusive pap smears, I was ready for a hysterectomy. My doctor recommended the
robotic hysterectomy technique and after doing my own research on the technology, I knew it
was for me. Not only was the surgery a breeze, but the post-op recovery was trouble-free and
brought with it minimal pain and scarring. Technology is a beautiful thing and it has allowed this
surgery to become easier and the result as if it has never happened.â
The benefits of the robotic hysterectomy have been documented by thousands of patients and
doctors. Because the procedure is highly technical, it requires a skilled, trained surgeon. While
not all patients are candidates for this procedure, more and more are and are turning towards
the method because of the benefits it brings.
According to the doctors that make up the Womenâs Specialists of Plano, "The skillfulness of the
robotic tools and the dexterity of the 3D technology allows for the effectiveness of traditional
open hysterectomy surgery and brings it to the minimally-invasive setting."
Any woman considering or being faced with a hysterectomy, should discuss all of the options
with their OBGYN. The robotic hysterectomy is one such consideration to be discussed.
