Robotics are making huge advances in many medical fields, and da Vinci® surgical systems is one of the most exciting. According to gynecologists at Caring For Women in Anchorage, AK, this surgical system is having a profound effect on OB/GYN procedures and surgeries, increasing comfort and efficiency via controlled automation. At first glance, the robotic components of a da Vinci surgical system can be intimidating, but once you understand them, you’ll see the many benefits of their use.

obgyn-procedures-caring-for-womenAt its core, the da Vinci surgical system is essentially a more versatile extension of your gynecologist. Originally developed for military purposes, automated da Vinci surgical instruments mimic the motions of a gynecologist’s hands in real time, making OB/GYN procedures and gynecological surgeries more effective and comfortable. During surgeries and exams, a miniature 3D camera system transmits high-resolution views to a screen that a gynecologist can examine. The da Vinci tool has an extremely versatile range of motion, allowing for more focused, less invasive pre-surgery interior inspection.

During more complex OB/GYN procedures, the da Vinci system can be fitted with laparoscopic instruments. Either through large incisions or a series of smaller ones, these tools can make precise interior incisions that pinpoint treatment or tissue removal. This results in faster, more effective recovery, as well as more efficient surgical procedures. The da Vinci system is being used in everything, from basic gynecological exams to more complex surgeries for cancer and pelvic pain, and it’s continually applied for further innovations in various medical fields.

If you anticipate having an OB/GYN procedure, consider da Vinci surgery as an option.
