Robot-assisted surgery uses state-of-the-art technology to achieve superior results in many types of surgery. As a leading urogynecologist and minimally invasive surgery specialist in South Miami, FL, Dr. Rafael Perez has extensive experience in robotic surgery using the da Vinci® surgery system to treat his patients at the Center for Urogynecology and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery. Certified as a Center of Excellence in Robotic surgery by the SRC, a company contracted by the AAGL to certify gynecologic surgeons who meet the criteria as true centers of excellence in GYN robotic surgery.
The da Vinci® surgical robot system is a precision surgical instrument designed to improve accuracy and outcomes in many types of surgeries, including gynecological surgeries. During robot-assisted surgery, the robot does not perform the surgery; instead, it's controlled by the surgeon to achieve greater accuracy and optimal results. The da Vinci® uses several very small incisions to insert the robotic device and other surgical instruments, eliminating the need for large incisions. A very advanced camera system attached to the end of the robotic device obtains highly-detailed, magnified images of the surgical site, then transmits those images to a computer screen. The surgeon uses those real-time images to guide the robot in performing very precise aspects of the surgical procedure.
The da Vinci® robot was designed to enable surgeons to have greater accuracy and precision during complex surgeries, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. The instruments used by the da Vinci® system enable the surgeon to have far greater control during the procedure, minimizing tissue damage and reducing bleeding and postoperative discomfort.
The da Vinci® surgical robot can be used to perform:
While robot-assisted surgery can offer benefits for many women, it's not always the ideal choice for every patient or every type of procedure. Before any surgical procedure, a complete evaluation will be performed to determine if a minimally invasive approach is the best choice or if a traditional approach using a large incision is a better option.
