Almost all gynecological treatments are associated with acute discomfort and pain. When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to treat the condition, open gynecologic surgery has been the traditional procedure for treatment.

A large incision is made on the abdomen to access the uterus and other organs. This spells significant trauma, pain and anxiety over a long recovery period during which you have to refrain from normal daily activities.

Laparoscopic surgery or keyhole surgery is minimally invasive as only small incisions are made to insert specialized instruments and cameras into the abdomen. While discomfort becomes less and recovery is definitely faster, laparoscopy requires long-handled and rigid instruments that are not considered effective for delicate or complex gynecological procedures. The internal anatomy can be accessed through the vagina without any incision, but even this does not work well.

The latest and least invasive technology is da Vinci Surgical System which uses a state-of-the-art robotic platform. It requires only a few small incisions to insert a 3D high-definition vision system and miniature wristed instruments into the body. These hi-tech instruments are capable of bending and rotating much beyond what is possible by the human wrist. Therefore the da Vinci robotic-assisted system brings superior vision, precision, dexterity and control along with better clinical outcomes to gynecological procedures that were not possible earlier.

Dr. Khashayar Shakiba is specially trained in the sophisticated da Vinci surgical system and has successfully adopted it for both routine and complex gynecological surgeries - like urinary incontinence, hysterectomy, myomectomy, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic floor reconstructive surgery, and many others. The minimal invasion through small incisions ensures much less pain, lower blood loss and fewer complications. There is shorter hospital stay with quicker recovery and you can return to your normal life much faster.
