Robotic Myomectomy
Fibroids in the uterus are noncancerous tumors in young women of reproductive age. It causes heavy bleeding leading to anemia, pelvic pain, pressure and pain in periods.
They can be responsible for infertility and affect the quality of life in today’s active & dynamic woman. Current management strategies are mainly surgical as medical options are limited. Removal of symptomatic fibroids with uterine preservation in women who wish to conceive or otherwise retain their uterus is myomectomy.
Open surgery is commonly performed for women with large or multiple fibroids. Minimally invasive surgery carries several well-documented advantages with small scars and rapid recovery. However, removing large fibroids by traditional laparoscopy has been challenging. Even in the USA, 85% of such patients undergo open surgery Minimally invasive surgery in this setting is a highly specialized skill that Dr. Sinha has developed in a career spanning over two and half decade and today does most myomectomy without the need for open surgery.
Robot assisted surgery has come as a major technological advance that can complement the skills of a surgeon. Since 2012, robotic technology with magnified 3D vision, incredible human wrist like maneuverability enabled Dr. Sinha to extend this minimally invasive technology to even the most technically challenging cases. In fact, subsequent experience has now shown that precision suturing of the uterus allows these women to safely become pregnant and deliver a full-term baby. There are Several advantages of Robotic surgery like quick recover and minimal blood loss. (Robotic surgery)
