Innovative Surgery Options for Gynecological Cancers
Surgery can be an effective treatment option for gynecologic cancers. At
Jupiter Medical Center, we provide patients with state-of-the-art, minimally
invasive surgical options, including laparoscopic surgery, vaginal surgery,
and robotic-assisted surgery.
Our specialists use the da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgery System® to
perform delicate gynecologic surgeries thanks to the robotic tiny instruments.
We can opt for a single-site approach, which is a minimally invasive procedure
that only requires one incision through the belly button and leaves no
visible scar. It also reduces the risk of blood loss, wound infection, and pain.
Procedures we can use the da Vinci Surgery System for include:
Hysterectomy. The surgical removal of the uterus can help patients with benign conditions
or early-stage gynecologic cancers.
Myomectomy. The surgical removal of fibroid tumors can preserve the uterus.
Sacrocolpopexy. This procedure can correct vaginal vault prolapse after a hysterectomy.
It typically uses mesh to hold the vagina in the appropriate anatomical
position for long-term support.
Potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
Faster recovery
Less pain
Smaller incisions
Early return to normal daily activities
Shorter hospital stay
If your care team recommends surgery, we can walk you through the process
and address any concerns you may have, so you have a clear understanding
of what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. We provide
you with detailed pre-operative and post-operative care instructions.
