Robotic Surgery in Gynecological Cancers
Robotic surgery in gynecological cancers is a surgical method used in the treatment of gynecological malignancies (uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, etc.). This approach involves the use of robotic surgical systems that make surgical interventions more precise and controllable. Often, robotic systems, such as the da Vinci surgical robot, offer the surgeon advanced capabilities to control surgical instruments and perform surgical procedures.
Robotic Surgery for Gynecological Cancers at Liv Hospital
At Liv Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, gynecological cancers are successfully treated via robotic surgery. Robotic and laparoscopic surgeries, which are the latest technologies of today, are used in the treatment of gynecological diseases. The most effective and widespread use of robotic surgery is in the field of gynecological oncology. It is successfully applied in cervical and uterine lining cancer surgeries.
Single Hole and Scarless Gynecological Surgeries
Robotic surgery through a single hole or port at Liv Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic allows gynecology surgery to be performed almost scar-free, using only the belly button. Since the abdomen is entered through the belly button, the port used remains inside the navel. Thus, there is no separate incision in the abdomen. For this reason, an excellent cosmetic result is achieved. In this surgery, an apparatus called a single port is placed into the belly button. The feature of this port is that it is a system that allows a camera and two separate instruments to pass through it. All arms used are connected to the robot and all of them are controlled by the surgeon and the surgery is performed successfully.
It is Very Important to Have It Done by Experienced Hands
Although single port robotic surgery can be performed using any part of the abdomen, the best cosmetic results are achieved when performed from the belly. For this reason, it can be used in benign diseases such as myomas that may require removal of the uterus, ovarian and tube problems, and some early-stage gynecological cancers. In single-hole robotic surgery, which requires a certain amount of experience, gynecological operations are the surgical operations of the future and are truly “minimally invasive” procedures. Because a single hole is used in the operation instead of 3-4 holes. With the development of this technique, many surgeries will be able to be performed this way in the near future.
What are the Advantages of Robotic Surgery?
Surgeons using the robotic system have the advantage of greater precision, flexibility and control during the operation, as well as a better view of the surgical field, compared to traditional methods. The tools used in the robotic system provide the surgeon with the flexibility of movement of the wrist within the chest. Surgeons using the robotic surgery system can perform delicate and complex procedures that may be difficult or impossible with other methods.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery provided by robotic surgery are:
- Less complication rate
- less pain
- Less blood loss
- faster recovery
- Smaller and less noticeable incision scars.
