Is Robotics the Answer to Uterine Fibroids?

Women of childbearing potential usually suffer from a condition known as uterine fibroids which are harmless tumours. The uterine fibroids develop in the muscular layer within the womb and may become large later on. Women in their late 30s or early 40s might suffer from this condition and might experience abdominal discomfort, fertility problems or heavy menses. Frequent urination and back pain are also common signs that indicate a developing uterine fibroid in your womb. However, uterine fibroids treatment can help you get relief and lead a normal life.

Robotic Surgery for Uterine Fibroids 

Robotic surgery is a safer and more promising option for patients with uterine fibroids. The procedure for surgical removal of these fibroids is called the robotic myomectomy. It is a minimally invasive surgery that involves the use of laparoscopic myomectomy to treat the fibroids. Myomectomy helps to preserve fertility and is considered safe for women who wish to be a mother in future. Bleeding as well as pressure in the uterus tend to decrease when you undergo this surgery. 

Procedure for Robotic Surgery

The robotic surgery for the removal of uterine fibroids is performed by a team of qualified professionals including surgeons, technicians, radiologists, and nurses. 

• The surgeon will operate the console using hand and foot control to guide the robotic arms. 
• The surgeon will be able to see the uterus in 3D with the help of the robotic camera. 
• The robotic arms execute the movements and expel the uterine fibroids precisely. 
• The procedure is very accurate and offers more dexterity which makes it a better method in comparison to laparoscopic surgery. 

Most women are able to preserve their uterus when they undergo robotic surgery. Furthermore, the patients can get back to their routine work within a few days of the surgery because of quick recovery. 

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

There are a few benefits of undergoing robotic surgery for uterine fibroids that make it the right choice of treatment. 

• Minimal discomfort 
• Less traumatic 
• Comparatively lesser loss of blood 
• Short recovery time in comparison to other treatment methods 
• Fewer scars 
• Slight pain 
• Lesser risk of infections 
• Minimal complications 

Robotic surgery for uterine fibroids ensures improvement in your quality of life and eliminates women's issues.
