Physician Uses Robotics to Offer Minimally-Invasive Gynecological Surgery to Patients
Robotics Helps Patients With Complex Cases Have Better Results and Less Down-Time
CLEARWATER, FL – The future has definitely arrived at the Visionary Centre for Women in as local gynecologist Dr. Jennifer S. Hayes offers the expertise of robotic surgery to her practice. The da Vinci ® Surgical System is a state-of-the-art robotic system that allows Dr. Hayes to provide her patients with minimally- invasive surgery options.
“This is the most exciting advance in complex gyn surgery I have been able to offer my patients since I started in practice nearly 20 years ago and I am completely passionate about it!” said Dr. Hayes.
Dr. Hayes continues, “The robotic system seamlessly translates my hand movements into corresponding movements of the miniaturized instruments positioned inside my patient. Two robotic arms, representing my left and right hands, hold the instruments that allow me to perform surgery using dime-sized incisions . incisions. There is also a 3D high-definition camera, which I can easily position, zoom and rotate to adjust to my field of vision.”
The da Vinci ® Surgical System is a great alternative to patients who have been told they need an open abdominal surgery for relief of their symptoms for conditions including, but not limited to, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and excessive bleeding. For most women, this minimally invasive approach results in significantly less pain, less blood loss, shorter recovery periods and a quicker return to normal daily activities.
Dr. Hayes was the first benign gynecologic surgeon in the area to offer robotics as an option for patients on Florida’s West Coast
