Minimally Invasive Gynecological Robotic Surgery

As technology advances, gynecological surgical options are expanding.

In the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Hospital our surgeons are committed to advancing the field of surgical techniques within gynecological surgery.

The following specialized surgeries are available for our patients:

These surgeries are minimally invasive treatments for the following conditions:

Uterine cancer

Cervical cancer

Endometriosis

Benign gynecological tumors

Uterine Prolapse

Safer Alternative: Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery

One of the main priorities for our surgeons is to provide a safer alternative to traditional open surgery by using a minimally invasive approach when indicated and whenever possible based on the disease we are treating, the patients’ anatomy, and the patients’ overall medical condition. This offers the following benefits to our patients:

Faster recovery

Less pain

Smaller incisions

Early return to normal activities

Shorter hospital stay

Decreased risk of infection

Putting a surgeon’s hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform

The Robotic Surgical System provides our surgeons with a groundbreaking alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy. The surgical robot enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision. Learn more about robotic surgery.

It is important to discuss these options with your health care provider. Not all patients are candidates for a minimally invasive surgical procedure; however we are able to offer this option to the vast majority of our patients.
