Minimally Invasive Surgery
03/24/2015 Benefits of Robotic & Minimally
Invasive Surgery for Gynecologic Issues has a number of benefits over
traditional gynecologic procedures, including but not limited to:
- A lower risk of surgical and post-surgical complications – While minimal incisions with minimally invasive surgery can reduce pain and excessive blood loss that may occur during surgery, they can also minimize scarring after the procedure is complete.
- Higher accuracy rates – With technologically advanced instruments and methods, our surgeons can accurately and effectively perform various gynecologic procedures. In fact, 98 percent of women who have received a minimally invasive endometrial surgery have reported long-term satisfaction with their procedure and its outcome.
- Shorter hospital stays – Depending on the procedure, some women can leave the hospital the same day as, or just one day after, their minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. This can also result in lower hospital bills. For example, more than 90 percent of women who receive a laparoscopic hysterectomy leave the hospital the day of or after their surgery.
- Shorter recovery times – Most women can resume their daily activities and return to work within one to two weeks of their procedure.
