Robotic Surgery in Adult CTVS (Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery)
Robotic assisted Gynecologic Surgery is a minimally invasive surgery
The introduction of Robotic Surgery to the field of Gynaecology has resulted in large changes in surgical management. FDA approved Robotic Surgical System in 2005 for gynaecological surgery. It has been rapidly adopted by Gynae Onco Surgeons (Gynae Oncologists) and Gynaecologists.
Robotic arms are designed such as to provide the operating surgeon, an instrument with finer movements and better reach to complex areas thus greater precision, further enhancing their dexterity.
The robot comprises of three components: A surgeon’s console, a patient-side cart with four robotic arms and a high-definition three-dimensional (3D) vision system. Your robotic surgeon operates on you! She uses the narrow, lighted scope and miniature instruments which are controlled through the robotic system. Due to this system, surgeons can treat several conditions that are related to women’s reproductive organs.

FAQs
WHAT IS HYSTERECTOMY?
Hysterectomy is an operation to remove a woman's uterus.
Types of hysterectomy:
• Simple total hysterectomy- removal of uterus, cervix, and possibly ovaries and fallopian tubes
• Complex Hysterectomy- removal of uterus, cervix and possibly ovaries and fallopian tubes when associated with endometriosis, adenomyosis or large fibroids and some malignancies of Uterus, Ovaries and Fallopian tube.
• Radical hysterectomy- removal of uterus, cervix, tissues surrounding the uterus, upper portion of vagina, possibly ovaries and fallopian tubes usually done for Uterine cancer, Cervical Cancer, Vaginal CancerWHAT ARE THE SURGERY OPTIONS FOR HYSTERECTOMY?
Open surgery- with open surgery doctors operate though a long incision from the pubic bone to above the naval. The incision must be large enough for the surgeon's hand and instruments to reach the target organ.
• Minimally invasive da Vinci robot assisted surgery – This surgery is done through 4 or 5 small incisions of about 7mm instead of long incision (cut). The da Vinci Surgical System has a 3D HD vision system that gives the operating surgeon a magnified view inside the body. It also has tiny instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand. These features enable surgeons to operate with enhanced vision, precision, and control.
