Francisco Garcini, co-founder and attending physician at Partners in Obstetrics & Women’s Health, has a special interest and expertise in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, as detailed on his website, garcinigyn.com. One example of a minimally invasive surgical procedure that Francisco Garcini is familiar with is a robotic hysterectomy.
A robotic hysterectomy, also known as a robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, is done by a trained surgeon who uses a computer to control the surgical instruments needed for the procedure. The advantage of having a robot is that its movements are smoother and more accurate than a human’s, and are better suited to operating in smaller spaces. The surgeon also gets a better view of the operation with the computer. A hysterectomy is usually recommended for women who experience symptoms like cancerous or non-cancerous tumors, uterine prolapse, or endometriosis. A robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy may be recommended to reduce the size of the incisions, cause the patient less pain post-surgery, and provide an easier and less risky recovery.
