If you've been told you have endometriosis and surgery can help, it's normal to have questions and concerns. At us, our surgeon uses CRM's innovative and precise robotic surgery system to help patients with endometriosis.
Unlike surgeries that require a lengthy recovery period and prevent you from fully participating in your life for an extended time, advances in surgical techniques have allowed highly trained physicians (like surgeons) to achieve excellent results with small incisions and microsurgical techniques.
Robotic surgery is a special type of minimally invasive surgery, which means it is performed using small incisions. The surgeon uses the advanced surgical system, which combines a high-resolution 3D camera with specialized surgical tools on a robotic arm to allow more precise movements in small spaces, such as the area around the uterus.
Endometrial tissue forms the lining of the uterus. It thickens every month in preparation for conception; if you're not pregnant, it shatters and falls off. When you have endometriosis, this tissue grows outside the uterus. These misplaced tissues (called endometrial implants) continue to grow and thicken as your monthly periods continue.
However, because it is not in the uterus, endometrial tissue cannot shed properly and leave your body. Result? The surrounding tissue has inflammation and irritation, causing pain, cramping, and irregular bleeding. Over time, endometriosis can cause scar-like adhesions, a condition that can lead to infertility.
If you have endometriosis, robotic-assisted surgery can help manage symptoms by removing scar tissue and endometrial implants. You can rest easy knowing that the surgeon is an expert in robotic surgery for endometriosis.
The CMR robotic system allowed surgeons to maintain full control during the procedure while increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the process. The surgical system provides the surgeon with a 3D magnified view of the surgical site, and the robotic arm tracks the surgeon' movements with an accuracy unmatched by traditional surgery.
When they hear the term "robotic surgery," many of our patients wonder who is doing the surgery: the surgeon or the robot? Rest assured, the surgeon is with you in the operating room and is always in charge.
Using the console, the surgeon guided the procedure using a system that allowed her to control the robotic arm. The system never makes decisions or cuts on its own -- it only responds to the finger movements of the surgeon's hand and only facilitates the process of surgery with modern software techniques for better eradication of disease.
Robot-assisted endometriosis surgery has many benefits. Some of these benefits are direct, while others are indirect but still powerful.
For example, because robotic surgery is minimally invasive, one of the immediate benefits is reduced recovery time. And because the surgeon has better access and a better view of the surgical field, more precise surgery is an indirect benefit.
Other benefits include:
We should choose robotic surgery if we want to preserve future fertility, ovarian reserve, better removal of endometriotic spots, anatomical recovery of pelvis, recovery of tubes, break down of adhesions and scar tissues, laser of small disease implants. All this is possible only with robotic surgery than conventional surgery
