The gynecology specialty covers conditions of the internal female reproductive system, which includes the uterus (womb), ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. When your reproductive system develops a problem, it can affect many aspects of your health and quality of life. Gynecologic conditions such as severe pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids, abnormal bleeding, pelvic organ prolapse, and cancer are common and may require medical care. When lifestyle changes, medicine, and other options do not ease your symptoms, your doctor may suggest surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Types of surgery<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the past, surgeons made large incisions in skin and muscle so that they could directly see and work on the area of concern. This is called open surgery. Today doctors still perform open surgery, but they can also perform many gynecologic procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, possibly with da Vinci\u00ae technology.<\/p>\n

Both minimally invasive approaches require one or a few small incisions that doctors use to insert surgical equipment and a camera for viewing. In laparoscopic surgery, doctors use special long-handled tools to perform surgery while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is a da Vinci system?<\/h3>\n

The da Vinci is a surgical system comprised of three components: surgeon console, patient-side cart, and vision cart.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Surgeon console<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The surgeon console is where your surgeon sits during the procedure, has a close-up 3D view of your anatomy, and controls the instruments. The instruments are \u201cwristed\u201d and move like a human hand, but with a far greater range of motion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Patient cart<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The patient-side cart is positioned near the patient on the operating table. It is where the instruments used during the operation move in real time in response to your surgeon\u2019s hand movements at the surgeon console.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Vision cart<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The vision cart makes communication between the components of the system possible and supports the latest 3D high-definition vision system.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that Intuitive does not provide medical advice. After discussing all options with your doctor, only you and your doctor can determine whether surgery with da Vinci is appropriate for your situation. You should always ask your surgeon about his or her training, experience, and patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
