Why might I need a robotic hysterectomy? Your surgeon may recommend this surgery if you have a problem with your uterus that has not responded to other treatments. Here are some common reasons why a hysterectomy is recommended: Non-cancerous fibroid tumors Cancerous tumors Uterine prolapse (your uterus has slipped down into your vagina) Endometriosis (cells from the lining of your uterus grow outside your uterus, causing pain and bleeding) Other causes of long-term abnormal uterine bleeding Chronic pelvic pain Some reasons why robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy may be recommended: You will have smaller incisions than in an open type of hysterectomy. You may have less pain and a shorter hospital stay after surgery. Your recovery may be easier. Your risk for complications like bleeding or infection may be less. What are the risks of a robotic hysterectomy? Robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy is a safe procedure, but all surgeries carry some risks. You will need to sign a consent form that explains the risks and benefits of the surgery. You will also want to discuss these risks and benefits with your surgeon. Some potential risks of hysterectomy done by any technique include: Reaction to the anesthesia Infection Bleeding Damage to other organs inside the abdomen Blood clots that form in your legs and may travel to your lungs An additional risk of robotic surgery: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery may take longer than other types of surgery. This means that you are under anesthesia longer. This may increase some of your surgical risks. There may be other risks, depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
