Urogynecology Surgeries

Robotic urogynecology surgery is one of the most recent additions to the domain of robotic technology’s use of implantation in performing surgeries. Several urogynecological surgeries are safely and effectively performed through the robotic arm with fewer complications. The robotic arms move smoothly and precisely inside the small space of the pelvic region.

Our Offerings

  • Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence is characterized by sudden and accidental urine leakage. Types of urinary incontinence include stress, urgency, overflow, and functional incontinence. Robotic surgery has successfully managed urinary incontinence and involves placing an artificial urinary sphincter.
  • Congenital Anomalies: Robotic surgery may also be used in managing various congenital abnormalities, such as imperforate hymen, uterine disorders, and vaginal septum. Robotic-assisted reconstruction of the cervix and vagina is effective in patients with vaginal and cervical atresia.
  • Robotic Sacrocolpopexy: This robotic surgery is performed to correct pelvic organ prolapse. A pelvic organ prolapse is characterized by the falling of the pelvic organs, such as the bowel, bladder, and uterus, from their normal positions The surgery involves the reconstruction of the pelvic floor to provide support for the pelvic organs. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a small hole in the abdomen. A laparoscope is inserted into the hole to visualize the internal tissues during the surgery. Then, the surgeon makes a small hole to insert the robotic instruments. The robotic arms move precisely and smoothly to lift the pelvic organs. The medical-grade mesh is attached to the pelvic organs to support them. After placing the mesh, the laparoscopic and robotic instruments are removed, and the wounds are sealed and closed.
  • Vesicovaginal and Rectovaginal Fistulas: Vesicovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the bladder and vagina, while a rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the vagina and the rectum. Both of these abnormalities can be effectively corrected through robotic surgeries.
  • Urethral Diverticulum: Urethra is a tube that drains urine from the body. In the urethral diverticulum, a pocket or sac is formed in the urethra, resulting in recurrent urinary tract infections and urinary incontinence. Women are at greater risk of developing this condition than men. Robotic surgery may be performed to treat the urethral diverticulum.
