Advantages of the Da Vinci Robot in Obstetrics and Gynecology
In laparoscopy, the surgeon holds the instruments with their hands, and the mobility of the instruments is limited. In robotic surgery, the wrists of the robot can rotate even more than a human hand (540 degrees), tremors are reduced to zero, and the camera presents the surgeon with a 10 times magnified 3D HD image. This is a massive advantage, especially in narrow pelvic region surgeries where very fine nerves need to be protected, such as cancer.
Yes, it is one of the gold standards in the surgery of gynecological cancers. In the process of cleaning the lymph nodes where the tumor is likely to spread, robotic surgery allows for an excellent tissue separation (dissection) without damaging the surrounding vessels and nerves.
Since there is no incision across your abdomen (like a cesarean section incision), the pain is very minimal. Patients can usually stand up and be discharged the day after the surgery and can return to their normal lives, excluding heavy physical activities, within 1-2 weeks.
