Robotic Surgery: What to Expect for Women Having Gynaecological Surgery.
When facing gynaecological surgery, the idea of "robotic surgery" can sound intimidating. But for many women, it offers a safer, faster-healing alternative to traditional open procedures.
What Is Robotic Gynaecological Surgery?
Robotic surgery uses advanced robotic arms controlled by your surgeon to perform highly precise movements. It’s commonly used for procedures like hysterectomies, fibroid removal, and treatment of endometriosis.
What Are the Benefits?
- Smaller incisions
- Less blood loss
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
What Does the Experience Involve?
- Consultation: Your gynaecologist will explain if robotic surgery is suitable for your condition.
- Before Surgery: You’ll have standard pre-op checks, and your surgeon will discuss anaesthesia and recovery expectations.
- During Surgery: You’ll be asleep while the robotic system is guided by your surgeon.
- After Surgery: Most women go home the same day or within 24–48 hours. Full recovery typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Is Robotic Surgery Safe?
Yes. In the hands of a global leader and trainer in robotic surgery, Mr Chalhoub has trained most of the robotic gynaecologists in the UK and many more in Europe and the World. Robotic procedures performed by Mr Chalhoub are considered highly safe, efficient, and effective.
