Robotic surgical devices were introduced into our country soon after they were started to use worldwide. In Turkey, only a limited number of centers perform hysterectomy (removal of uterus), operations for ovarian cysts and myoma (myomectomy), but most importantly gynecological cancer operations as in the world.

In what cases Robotic Gynecology is performed?

By using arms of a robot, and a camera nearly all of gynecological operations can be carried out. Some of them are;

• Myomectomy (Removal of fibroids)
• Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
• Reduction of the uterus in pairs to one
• Sacrocervicopexy/Sacrocolpopexy (Suspension of sagging uterus)
• Tube Surgery
• Adhesiolysis (removal of adhesions around the tubes and ovaries)
• Tubal re-anastomosis (Reopening of connected tubes)
• Opening of tube blockages
• Salpenjectomy (Removal of tubes)
• Ectopic pregnancy operations
• Chocolate cysts, other ovarian cysts,
• Ovarian cancer surgeries

Uterine and cervix (place between uterus and vagina) cancer surgery

What are advantages of Robotic Gynecology?

The main advantages of this method are the realization of small (centimeter level) incisions and thereby both ease of wound healing, lack of hernia formation, responds to aesthetic concerns. Moreover, patients can recover and return normal life soon.

Another advantage is that the surgeon sees much clearer and closer than open surgery or laparoscopy, and surgery is done more effectively, which is also less complications means less surrounding tissue damage and more precisely the benefit of the patient.

Are there any risks?

Robotic gynecological surgery compared to conventional methods; open surgery and laparoscopy risks and complication rates are less common.

The fact that robotic surgery is rapidly spreading around the world for today, as mentioned, the concept of “minimally invasive surgery” is a method that brings less risk to the patient and increases the success rate is the result.
