Robotic-Assisted Gynecologic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery has found some of its most successful application in surgery for the gynecologic system. At advanced centers with the robotic capability, gynecologic surgeons now conduct a significant portion of their surgery with the new system, due to its advantages over conventional laparoscopic surgery.
For its many benefits, gynecologic surgeons use the robotic tool to perform surgery for:
- adenomyosis;
- adhesions/scarring (pelvic);
- bleeding;
- cancer;
- cervical weakness;
- endometrial polyps;
- endometriosis;
- fertility/reproductive health & family planning;
- ovarian cysts;
- pelvic floor/organ prolapse;
- pelvic inflammatory disease;
- pelvic pain;
- and uterine fibroids (myomas).
A significant portion of this surgical work involves includes operations for cancer and other abnormal growths. The da Vinci ® STM Robotic Surgical System is the most advanced minimally invasive tool for surgical treatment of these conditions.
Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes has the most extensive experience in robotic gynecologic oncology in South Jersey. It is also among the most experienced centers in New Jersey with this technology–using robot-assisted surgery to treat a wide variety of gynecologic conditions.
Virtua has continued to expand its robotic technology options for Gyn surgery.
