There are many health problems that require hysterectomy , that is, removal of the uterus. The situations in which this operation is necessary, which has a very high rate in women, are as follows;

fibroids
Uterine prolapse (uterine prolapse)

What is Robotic Uterine Removal Surgery?

If there is a subject that is more curious and important than the question of what is a hysterectomy , it is robotic uterus removal surgery . Robotic surgery, which is frequently used in uterus removal operations, is the use of robotic equipment during removal of the uterus. The organ expressed as the uterus is a muscular and hollow organ located in the pelvic region of women. Two separate equipments are used in surgical operations performed with robotic support. One of them is the robotic equipment next to the patient. This equipment has four arms that actually perform the operation. In the robotic surgery method, the surgeon controls these robotic arms.

Who Can Benefit From Robotic Uterine Removal Surgery?

Robotic surgery has started to be preferred in uterine operations in recent years. The reason for this is that it provides great convenience to both the surgeon and the patient. Many people who wish will be able to easily prefer robotic surgery methods in uterus removal operations. In addition, Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is especially suitable for the following people. Those people;

obesity patients
Patients with pelvic adhesions or advanced endometriosis
Patients with endometrial cancer (uterine cancer)

In order to understand whether robotic assisted uterus removal operations are suitable for you, you need to talk to your doctor and be examined. Detailed information will be given to you as a result of the inspection.

Advantages of Robotic Uterine Removal Surgery

We can state that robotic surgery provides great advantages for those who have undergone uterine removal surgery . The fact that patients provide great advantages during and after the operation ensures that they are more inclined to this operation. The general advantages of robotic womb removal are as follows;

Patients experience less blood loss during the operation.
There is less pain after the surgery.
Less scarring occurs as smaller incisions are made. This results in less scarring and faster healing.
Patients have less risk of infection.
Hospital stays are reduced.
It gets back to your daily life much faster.

Uterine removal operations are not an easy operation under normal conditions and patients cannot recover in a short time. However, we can say that the healing process will be much easier and faster when robotic surgery is used.

Before Robotic Uterine Removal Surgery

When robotic surgery is preferred for uterine surgery , a preparation process is required beforehand. When you decide for this operation, you should first talk to your doctor. Your doctor will physically examine you. In addition, you will be asked for blood and urine tests. You should stop eating and drinking the evening and morning before the operation.

First, a catheter is inserted to empty your bladder.
Before the procedure, the abdomen is cleaned with a sterile solution.
After anesthesia is applied to the patient, four or five small surgical incisions are made in the abdomen.
The instruments used in robotic surgery are placed in the abdomen and the surgeon will sit at the computer console and control the robot arms.
In a surgical operation, the uterus (womb) is usually removed from the vagina, and in some cases, it can be removed from the incision areas in the abdomen.

In the robotic surgery method, also known as the da vinci robotic surgery method, the surgical process generally continues in this way.

How Many Hours Does Robotic Uterine Removal Surgery Take?

The answer to the question of how many hours the uterus removal surgery takes is naturally wondered by people who want to undergo the operation. The duration of the operation varies according to the expertise of the surgeon and the procedures to be performed in the operation.

Damage to the urinary bladder and nearby organs
Bleeding
Infection
Problems from anesthesia
blood clots in the legs
