FAQ
What is minimal access surgery or key hole surgery?
Minimal access surgery is the one using small telescope and smaller instruments 5mm in size. Keyhole incisions are made on abdomen and internal organs can be easily visualised on a screen. It is used to treat problems like fibroids, ovarian cyst, endometriosis and most gynaecological surgeries.
What is robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery is a name given to a computer applied to laparoscopic surgery. Artificial intelligence used. 3D vision is obtained. Immersive experience where the surgeon feels she is looking directly inside the abdomen.
What are the few drawbacks of traditional laparoscopic surgery?
Vision is 2 Dimensional. Inability to navigate through tight spaces.
What are the advantages of Robotic Surgery?
Provides a 3 Dimensional vision . Navigation through tight spaces possible replicates precise hand movements of the surgeon. High level of precision is obtained.
How does the patient benefit after a robotic surgery?
- Faster recovery, patient can be discharged in 1-2 days.
- Post-operative pain is less.
- Excellent results if done by expert hands
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is the presence of Endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It could be on the fallopian tube, ovary, and on other organs.
How is Endometriosis Dangerous?
Endometriosis is highly under diagnosed. High grade can cause severe pain and cause multiple organs sticking to each other including, urinary bladder, intestine etc.

How does robotic surgery help in High Grade Endometriosis?
Endometriosis surgery requires a high level of precision. Clearing of the adhesions, with minimum tissue damage. Manovering into tight spaces meticulously can be obtained by robotic surgery.
What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
A prolapse is when the abdominal organs descend down. It happens when the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments become weak and are no longer able to support them.
What is the use of Robotic Surgery in Pelvic Floor Repair?
Site specific defect repair is possible with robotic surgery. Suturing in narrow spaces with extreme precision is possible. Sacrocolpopexy, paravaginal repair procedures give excellent results with robotic surgery.
