What is Robotic-Assisted Surgery?<\/h2><\/div>

Robotic surgery is one of the latest innovations in minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery was one of the first types and we still perform procedures laparoscopically in our practice. Both laparoscopic and robotic surgery use small incisions, a camera and surgical instruments. The main difference is that instead of personally manipulating the surgical instruments, in robotic surgery the surgeons and uses a computer console and controls to manipulate the robot instead.<\/p>\n

Robotic surgery offers greater accuracy, control and range of motion, giving the surgeons the edge in performing more complex, delicate surgical procedures. The robotic arms and miniature tools can reach more precise angles than the human hand. The visual equipment also offers magnified, high-definition imagery of the surgical site, far surpassing the ability of the human eye.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How is robotic surgery performed?<\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

While you may feel concerned about a robot performing your surgery, the reality is your surgeon is in control, manipulating the instruments to perform the operation.<\/p>\n

Robotic surgery uses the da Vinci\u2122 surgical system, a unique set of technologies that include specialized \u201carms\u201d for holding instruments and a camera, as well as a magnified screen and a console<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
