Robotic Hysterectomy Surgery

The aim of robotic-assisted Hysterectomy is to remove your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes whether it be because of endometriosis or fibroids, to cancer conditions, like endometrial or uterine cancer. This is done by using very small, robotic instruments that allow precise surgery through tiny keyhole incisions in your abdomen.

What does this procedure involve?

A robotic-assisted Hysterectomy is to remove your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes whether it be because of endometriosis or fibroids, to cancer conditions, like endometrial or uterine cancer. This is done by using very small, robotic instruments that allow precise surgery through tiny keyhole incisions in your abdomen.

There are several types of hysterectomy: partial hysterectomy, simple or total hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy. Your surgeon will discuss what they recommend. This may vary based on your condition, symptoms, and age.

 

Benefits of a robot-assisted Hysterectomy

  • Minimally invasive
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Less blood loss – less blood transfusions
  • Significantly less pain
  • Faster recovery – quicker return to normal activities
  • Less risk of infection
  • 10 x magnified 3D high definition view

Driving Robotic Surgery in New Zealand

Wakefield Hospital is home to the da Vinci, a state-of-the-art 3.5 million dollar robotic assisted surgical system designed to facilitate complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach.

Robotic surgery is a form of keyhole surgery where the surgeon carries out the procedure by controlling surgical instruments through a series of robotic arms. The surgeon sits in front of a console during the procedure controlling both the robotic arms and surgical instruments while viewing the procedure on a high-definition 3D video screen.
