Published with the inputs from Dr Usha Payyady, Senior Consultant, Obstetrics And Gynaecology, Baby Memorial Hospitals- Kozhikode

Robotic gynaecologic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses advanced robotic technology to treat various conditions of female reproductive system. With the help of the robotic system, surgeons perform complex procedures through small incisions, offering greater precision ,less blood loss,  less pain, faster recovery, back to normal work and better cosmetic results compared to traditional open surgery.

What is robotic gynaecologic surgery?

It is a minimally invasive surgical approach where the surgeon uses a robotic system with high-definition cameras provide 3D image to perform surgeries on the uterus, ovaries, cervix, or pelvic area.

Which conditions are treated with robotic gynaecologic surgery?

• Gynaecological cancers (endometrial, cervical and early ovarian cancer)
• Severe Endometriosis
• Uterine prolapse- Suspension procedure
• Vesicovaginal Fistula
• Hysterectomy (removal of uterus)
• Ovarian cysts or tumors 

Is robotic gynaecologic surgery safe?

Yes. Robotic surgery is safe due to the 3D visions and the instruments providing 360 degree rotations at the terminal end with less complications such as bleeding, infection, or injury to nearby organs. 

How does robotic surgery compare to laparoscopy?

Robotic surgery Offers 3D vision, greater precision, and more flexibility with instruments. Hence it is advisable for complex surgeries including  gynec  malignancies and severe endometriosis with bowel adhesions

What are the benefits of robotic gynaecologic surgery?

• Smaller incisions and minimal tissue injury
• Less blood loss due to precision
• Shorter hospital stay 
• Faster return to normal activities and hence cost effective
• Better outcomes in complex cases

What is recovery like after robotic gynaecologic surgery?

• Shorter hospital stay 
• Return to routine work earlier
• Less post-operative pain compared to open surgery
