ROBOTIC ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

Robotic ectopic pregnancy for tubal conservation

Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, uses robotic technology to perform specific aspects of surgery, especially those that require high precision. In robotic surgery, the robot does not serve the surgery. Surgical robots use highly advanced computer hardware and software, and due to their high accuracy and accuracy, it has better outcomes than all types of traditional surgery.

Our specialist in Lahore is only gynecologist to use robotic-assisted technology in Pakistan. Given her extensive experience in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, the transition to robotic surgery was a natural fit. They are experts in the robotic field, especially in complex cases such as major uterine surgery. Prof. Dr Rehana Aamer Khan has performed more than hundreds of robotic surgeries to treat gynecological diseases.

ROBOTIC ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

Ectopic Pregnancy

Pregnancy requires many steps in a woman's body, from fertilization to childbirth. One such step is when the fertilized egg moves to t uterus to attach to itself. In the rare cases of an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg does not abut with the uterus. Instead, it may connect to the fallopian tubes, abdominal cavity, or cervix.

While a pregnancy test may show that a woman is pregnant, a fertilized egg cannot grow properly anywhere other than the uterus. However, an untreated ectopic pregnancy can lead to a medical emergency. Prompt treatment can reduce the risk of complications from an ectopic pregnancy, increase the chances of a healthy future pregnancy, and reduce future health complications.

Common causes an ectopic pregnancy

In fact, the actual cause of an ectopic pregnancy is not always visible, but some general conditions are:

Inflammation and scarring of the fallopian tubes from a previous medical disease, infection, or surgery
Hormonal factors
Genetic abnormality
Congenital disability
Changes in fallopian tubes/reproductive organs.

ROBOTIC ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

Risk for an ectopic pregnancy

Possible risks for ectopic pregnancy are:

Plus 35 years older mother.
History of pelvic surgery, abdominal surgery, or multiple miscarriages.
History of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
History of endometriosis or STDs.
Getting pregnant despite having a fallopian tube or IUD inserted.
Getting pregnant with the help of fertility drugs or procedures.
Smokes/history of ectopic pregnancy.
Structural abnormalities in the fallopian tubes make it difficult for the egg to move.

Benefits of robotic ectopic pregnancy for tubal conservation

Like laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery uses tiny incisions and the recovery period is generally quicker and more comfortable, meaning most patients can return to their everyday lives sooner. Smaller incisions also mean less risk of infection and other complications. Because the incisions are tiny, they are usually closed with surgical adhesive and covered with a small bandage.

Shorter stay in hospital: It depends on the type of surgery performed. Still, in most cases, minimally invasive gynecological surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. So that patients can go home the same day as the surgery. Our highly qualified surgeons will provide comprehensive guidance on caring for incisions and what activities to do and avoid. Plus, any other information one needs to ensure successful healing.

Robotic Surgery of Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a severe condition that complicates 1-2% of pregnancies. Surgery is effective but may affect future fertility. Although tubal-sparing surgery has not offered significant advantages over salpingectomy in terms of future fertility potential, conservative surgical techniques are still widely used, especially when placing diseased or non-existing bypass tubes.

Above all, robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopic surgery, requiring only small incisions. After the patient is under general anesthesia, a small robotic arm is placed in the abdomen through a small incision. Robotic arms include small surgical tools that allow the surgeon to make precise movements. Robotic surgical systems enable surgeons to operate with greater skill and precision than laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery. Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform tubal conservative surgery with effect of zoom in and 3D view with no damage to fallopian tube. So robotic surgery helps to prevent recurrence of ectopic pregnancy than conventional surgery, at the same time cause of ectopic better addressed with robotic surgery.
