da Vinci®  Surgical System

The next general of laparascopic surgery has arrived at Community Hospital, with the implementation of the da Vinci®  Surgical System.

Community joins an elite group of hospitals nationwide offering this system, which combines the benefits of laparascopic surgery and robotics, to allow the surgeon to work through tiny incisions, with a much wider range of motion for precision. 

Patient Benefits

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss & scarring
• Shorter recovery time - faster return to daily activities

Gynecologic Surgery

When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. These conditions may include:

• cervical and uterine cancer
• uterine fibroids
• endometriosis
• uterine prolapse
• menorrhagia or excessive bleeding

Traditional gynecologic surgery uses a large incision. This type of open surgery may cause significant pain, trauma, and a long recovery period.

Less invasive

For complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option. Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the da Vinci System can operate with greater precision and control.

Procedures performed with the da Vinci® Surgical System:

• Hysterectomy - surgical removal of the uterus and/or other reproductive organs
• Myomectomy - surgical removal of uterine fibroids
• Sacrocolpopexy - surgery for uterine or vaginal vault prolapse
