When a women needs to undergo surgery, in addition to treating the disease, the final cosmetic result is also very important parameter that has to be taken in consideration. Now with robotic surgery, the most complex gynecological surgeries can still be performed with very small (8 mm) incisions leaving very little to no surgical scars. When medically indicated removal of the uterus (hysterectomy); removal of uterine fibroids (myomectomy); surgeries for endometriosis or the ovaries, certain types of gynecological cancers and surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse can now all be performed using this newest technology. Giving a combination of both an optimal surgical treatment with at the same time optimal cosmetic results.

This surgical innovation has changed how surgeons look at the treatment of disease. Patients do not only deserve the best surgical outcomes, they also deserve to have the best cosmetic outcomes at the same time.
