Women’s Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is the most advanced form of minimally invasive surgery available today. HaysMed is the only hospital in Western Kansas that offers the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System to treat women’s health conditions.

Type of Surgeries:

*Hysterectomy – surgery to remove the uterus or womb; used as a treatment option for several women’s conditions, including vaginal prolapse (falling or slipping of the vagina), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding and cancer

*Ovarian Cysts

*Pelvic Scar Tissue

*Tubal Ligation

*Pelvic Pain Evaluation

*Endometriosis

How da Vinci® works

Through a high-tech control module, surgeons move miniaturized operating instruments that allow for extremely precise movements.

Advantages for patients

*Smaller incisions which can result in:

*Less blood loss
*Less pain
*Reduced risk of infection
*Shorter hospital stay
*QUicker recovery and return to regular activity
*Less scarring
