- Abdominal sacrocolpopexy- repair of ligaments, tissues and muscles supporting the vagina
- Uterosacral vaginal vault suspension- repair of uterine or vaginal prolapse
What does the process involve?
The minimally invasive techniques involve the use of robotics to help complete a surgery using small incisions. While traditional open surgeries involve one large wound, minimally invasive surgeries ensure small incisions, which help with quick recovery.
After your surgeon identifies the area of the surgery, they will use thin instruments with lighting and a camera attached. They will insert the instruments through one or two scars, depending on your surgery. The camera will transfer images of your body to a screen, which your surgeon will use as a guide. The enhancement of your images increases the precision of the procedure.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgeries
Considering that minimally invasive surgeries use very small incisions, they reduce your recovery time tremendously. Compared to traditional open surgery, you would have a large wound to treat, while for minimally invasive surgery, the scar is small, reducing your aftercare time.
The robotic-assisted surgery reduces your risk of complications because it utilizes high-precision techniques. The robots enhance the surgical site making it easier for your surgeon to operate. The precision will ensure that your gynecologist only deals with the intended areas.
Another benefit of the advanced technique is less pain, bleeding and shorter hospital stay. An open wound will require you to stay in the hospital for a number of days as doctors observe your progress after surgery. They will pay close attention to how your wounds are healing, your pain levels, and whether you are bleeding abnormally.
