Robotic surgery is revolutionizing the way doctors treat many gynecological conditions, offering women a less invasive option with a faster recovery time. Many women who previously faced extensive downtime and significant discomfort from traditional surgery can now benefit from quicker recovery, less pain, and smaller scars.
Jon T. Ricks, MD, and our expert team in Frisco, Texas, use the cutting-edge da Vinci surgical system, allowing us to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision and control. Here are the top gynecological conditions that we can treat using da Vinci robotic surgery.
This is a painful condition in which tissue similar to uterine lining grows outside of the uterus, which can cause intense pain, heavy periods, and even fertility issues. When surgery is necessary, the da Vinci technology shines.
The precision of robotic-assisted surgery allows Dr. Ricks to remove endometrial tissue more effectively, even from hard-to-reach areas, while preserving healthy tissue. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, there’s less pain, reduced scarring, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
These noncancerous growths in the uterus can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and other complications. In some cases, surgery is required to remove them.
Dr. Ricks can perform a myomectomy (removal of fibroids) with the help of the robotic system. The da Vinci robotic surgical system provides a more targeted removal of fibroids while preserving your uterus. The minimally invasive approach means smaller incisions, less blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay.
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus that addresses various conditions, including uterine cancer, chronic pelvic pain, fibroids, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Traditional open surgery for hysterectomies can require significant recovery time and cause post-operative discomfort.
With da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery, Dr. Ricks can perform a minimally invasive hysterectomy with greater control and flexibility. This results in fewer complications and quicker recovery. It also requires only a few small incisions, meaning less pain, a faster return to your daily activities, and smaller, less visible scars.
This condition occurs when your pelvic floor muscles weaken, causing your bladder, uterus, or rectum to affect the vaginal canal. This condition can be quite uncomfortable, can cause urinary problems, and can make bowel movements more difficult. Surgical intervention is often needed when lifestyle changes or non-surgical treatments don’t provide relief.
Robotic surgery offers a less invasive way to repair pelvic organ prolapse by lifting and securing the prolapsed organs using the da Vinci system’s precision and flexibility.
When you need gynecological surgery, the da Vinci robotic system offers a modern, minimally invasive approach. If you’re dealing with any of these gynecological issues, talk to our team about whether robotic surgery could be the right treatment option for you.
