Robot assisted hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the uterus. It’s typically performed for various medical reasons, including: 1.Uterine fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and other symptoms. 2.Endometriosis: A condition where the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of it, leading to pain and possible infertility. 3.Uterine prolapse: When the uterus slips from its normal position into the vagina. 4.Abnormal uterine bleeding: Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding. 5.Chronic pelvic pain: Long term pain in the pelvic region that may be caused by various conditions affecting the uterus. 6.Gynecologic cancers: In some cases, hysterectomy may be performed to treat cancers such as uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer. The technique Robot assisted hysterectomy involves several key steps: 1.Preparation: Before surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI. Blood tests may also be performed. 2.Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure they remain unconscious and pain-free throughout the procedure. 3.Placement of instruments: The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen, through which robotic surgical instruments and a tiny camera are inserted. This provides a magnified view of the pelvic organs on a monitor. 4.Separation of uterus: Using the robotic instruments inserted through the incisions, the robot carefully separates the uterus from surrounding tissues, including ligaments and blood vessels. This step may involve cutting and sealing blood vessels to minimize bleeding. 5.Removal of uterus: Once the uterus is completely detached, it is usually cut into smaller pieces to facilitate its removal through the small incisions. In some cases, the uterus may be removed intact through the vagina or morcellated (cut into smaller pieces). 6.Closure: After the uterus is removed, the robot checks for any bleeding and then closes the incisions with sutures or surgical staples. Sometimes, dissolvable sutures are used, eliminating the need for removal later. 7.Recovery: Following the procedure, the patient is monitored in a recovery area until they wake up from anesthesia. Most patients are discharged from the hospital within 24 hours and can resume normal activities within a few weeks, depending on individual recovery and the nature of their surgery. Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. However, it may not be suitable for all patients, especially those with certain medical conditions or extensive pelvic scarring.
A Robot assisted radical hysterectomy is a surgical procedure primarily used to treat early-stage cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. It involves removing the uterus, cervix, ovaries, part of the vagina, surrounding tissues and nearby lymph nodes. This procedure is less invasive than traditional open surgery, offering benefits such as quicker recovery times and reduced postoperative pain. Here’s an overview of…
Robot Assisted Oncosurgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, has revolutionized the field of oncology by offering numerous benefits over traditional open surgeries. This advanced surgical approach utilizes small incisions and specialized instruments to access and remove cancerous tumors. Here are some key benefits and types of Robot Assisted oncosurgeries: Minimal Scarring: One of the primary advantages of oncosurgery is…
Robot Assisted Revisional Bariatric Procedures are becoming very popular these days. This type of procedure is performed to repair or change a previously performed weight loss surgery. People require revisional bariatric surgery in some conditions such as primary inadequate weight loss, in which there is less than 25% excess body weight loss, or weight recidivism, that has weight more than…
Robot Assisted Gastric Banding is surgery to help with weight loss. The Robot places a band around the upper part of your stomach to create a small pouch to hold food. The band limits the amount of food you can eat by making you feel full after eating small amounts of food. After surgery, The Robot can adjust the band…
Robot Assisted Sleeve Gastrectomy, also called a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure. During sleeve gastrectomy, about 80 percent of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. Limiting the size of your stomach restricts the amount of food you are able to consume. In addition, the procedure prompts hormonal…
The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is basically a very simple, successful and reversible Robot Assisted gastric bypass surgery which is widely used for weight loss. Further, it has been recently renamed as One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass. This type of surgical operation usually takes shorter time, with shorter or similar hospital stay as regular bypass. The Indications are quite similar to…
Gastric bypass surgery refers to a surgical process in which the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower “remnant” pouch and then the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both. Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y (roo-en-wy) gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach…
Ventral hernias can be classified into several types, including umbilical hernias (around the belly button), epigastric hernias (above the belly button), and incisional hernias (at the site of a previous surgical incision). Inguinal hernias occur in the groin area and can be direct or indirect. Robot-assisted hernia surgery may be indicated for complex or recurrent hernias, as well as for…
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries. There are several types of ovarian cysts, including: Functional cysts: These are the most common type and typically develop as a result of the menstrual cycle. They include: Follicular cysts: Form when a follicle (a sac that contains an egg) doesn’t rupture to release the egg. Corpus luteum cysts: Form…
