Robotic Surgery
Overview
Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses specialized instruments and advanced technology to perform complex surgical procedures with enhanced precision and control. Our OBGYN team is highly experienced in using robotic surgery to treat a variety of gynecologic conditions.
During a robotic surgery procedure, a highly trained surgeon uses a robotic arm to manipulate specialized instruments through small incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon controls the instruments from a console in the operating room, providing a highly accurate and detailed view of the surgical site.
Robotic surgery offers many benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including less pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery time. Our team will work with you to determine if robotic surgery is the best option for your individual needs and goals.
