Robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery offers a safe, precise, and less invasive
way to treat conditions affecting the uterus, ovaries, pelvic floor, and
reproductive system. This approach can reduce pain, shorten recover time,
and help you get back to your life sooner.
Robotic-assisted surgery enhances your surgeon’s ability –
it does not replace your surgeon’s hands.
Our leading robotic experts include:
Dr. Jessica Cole is an obstetrician and gynecology physician and surgeon, who is dedicated
to bringing her medical training and skills in robotic-assisted surgery
to her hometown community.
Dr. Joseph W. Semien, Jr. is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist and surgeon who is
highly sought after for his experience treating pelvic floor dysfunction,
close to home, in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Why Choose Robotic-Assisted Surgery?
Using the Da Vinci robotic-assisted system, surgeons are able to enhance
their control and visualization during delicate gynecologic procedures.
With shorter recovery times, fewer complications, less scarring, and less
pain, choosing robotic-assisted surgery can help you get back to the things
you love faster.
Robotic-assisted technology serves as a tool to allow surgeons to operate
more precisely using high-definition 3D cameras and instruments that move
with greater range than the human hand. Your surgeon is always in control
– but with robotic precision, outcomes are often better and less
invasive than traditional methods.
Common Gynecological Procedures:
Fibroids
Endometriosis
Pelvic organs prolapse
Hysterectomy
Gynecologic tumor and mass removal
Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Less pain and few complications
Quicker return to work and normal routines
Smaller and less visible scarring
Better long-term outcomes
Frequently Asked Questions
Will robotic gynecologic surgery affect fertility?
Robotic-assisted surgery has no greater adverse effect on fertility than
traditional surgery. Minimally invasive surgery can often preserve fertility,
depending on the condition being treated. It is always recommended to
discuss your surgical and family planning options with your surgeon and OBGYN.
Is robotic surgery only used for cancer patients or hysterectomy?
No, Da Vinci robotic technology can be used for many gynecologic surgeries
like removing benign fibroids and endometriosis, as well as pelvic floor
dysfunction. It is important to discuss your surgical options with your
care team and follow their recommendations in choosing the treatment plan
that is best suited for you.
How painful is robotic-assisted surgery?
Robotic-assisted surgery recovery is no less painful than traditional surgery.
However, in many cases, the minimally invasive nature of robotic-assisted
surgery often leads to less pain and shorter recovery times. It is important
to follow your surgeons and care teams' instructions and recommendations
during recovery.
