Robotic Surgery

The da Vinci^® surgical system is a modern surgical platform that consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient cart with 4 articulate robotic arms, a high-performance vision system and patented EndoWrist^® instruments.

Your surgeon operates the system while seated at the da Vinci^® console. This enables the surgeon to perform delicate and complex operations with accuracy and dexterity using a forceps-like master control while viewing the magnified 3D images of the interior of your body.

The robotic arms are inserted through tiny surgical cuts and act as an extension of he surgeon's arm, mirroring every hand movement and enabling delicate and complex operations to be done.

Robotic surgeris can deliver improved patient benefits compare to traditional laparoscopic/minimally invasive keyhole surgery or open surgery. These may include:

• Smaller cuts, which means reduced infection risk, less blood loss and minimal post-operative scarring
• Less trauma, which may result in reduced pain, less medication and shorter recovery time
• For many women, a hysterectomy is often followed by feelings of loss and emotional distress. Robotic surgery enables quicker physical healing so that patients can focus on emotional healing

At Mount Elizabeth Hospitals, we are committed to giving you comprehensive care. Our multidisciplinary team of surgeons, nurses and therapists are here to guide you through the entire treatment and recovery process.

Patients can benefit from Mount Elizabeth Hospitals' modern equipment and facilities. Minimally invasive techniques reduce trauma and scarring while improving success rates and recovery speed, while computer-aided robotic surgery allows for added precision during surgical procedures.
