Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery refers to surgical techniques performed with a digital camera connected to a telescope that is inserted either into your abdomen (laparoscopy) or through your cervix into the uterine cavity (hysteroscopy). A surgeon uses the lighted camera, as well as a variety of small instruments, to complete the procedure. The camera provides the surgeon with a clear view of the procedure, which is projected on high definition digital video monitors located throughout the operating room. Robotic surgery (using the da Vinci® robot) is a form of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive procedures have a number of advantages over traditional procedures, including:
Lower risk of infection
Minimal scarring
Decreased blood loss and fewer blood transfusions
Reduced pain post-procedure
A shorter or fully eliminated hospital stay
Quicker return to normal daily activities and work
Improved quality of life
