http://www.pacificgynsurgicalgroup.com. Dr. Leslie Kardos of California Pacific Medical Center explains the advantages of minimally invasive (laparoscopic) gynecologic surgery, including robot assisted minimally invasive surgery. Transcript hi I'm dr. Leslie cartas chief of gynecology and director of GYN robotic surgery a California Pacific Medical Center one of the reasons we're talking with you today is to encourage women to know what their options are and I'd like to talk to you about minimally invasive surgery the role of robotics and GYN surgery and a little bit about uterine fibroids otherwise known as myomas fry boys are common smooth muscle tumors that affect approximately twenty-five percent of women and every one of the common things that women come see their gynecologist about they cause certain symptoms like pelvic pain painful menstrual cycles and often cause abnormal bleeding sometimes they can also be related in reasons why women have delayed fertility for women who have fibroids you should be given the option of minimally invasive surgery the majority of the time for a benign disease however most women in the country undergo large incisions for their GYN surgery an average open surgery patients will spend two to three days in the hospital and approximately six weeks for recovery minimally invasive surgery allows the surgeon to make small pee hole incisions five to eight millimeters in diameter about the diameter of my pinky finger through these small incisions we're able to put a camera usually at the belly button or umbilicus and other small incisions in other areas in the apt through these small incisions we put laparoscopic ports and through those ports we actually put long laparoscopic instruments The Da Vinci robotic system enables us to do minimally invasive surgery in a very precise delicate manner the robotic system on the da Vinci Surgical System has four arms that enable us to hold a camera and three instruments to do our work inside the patient's abdomen the console is where the surgeons it's remotely from the patient and puts their hands and hand holds the motions of the surgeons hands in the console are mimicked with small motions in the patient's abdomen the other surgeon stands of the patient's bedside and is able to introduce the instruments in and out of the port's minimally invasive surgery has many advantages primarily small incisions mean less pain postoperatively there's usually less blood loss more precision and patience because they have less pain are able to return to their normal functioning life in a shorter amount of time I hope this has helped you learn a little bit more about uterine fibroids and options for minimally invasive surgery to treat myomectomy and hysterectomies I'm dr. Leslie kardos and now you know
