Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

For a growing number of complex gynecological conditions, da Vinci^® robotic surgery is becoming the minimally invasive surgery of choice at NCH. We have a Robotic Gynecologic Surgery Institute, the first of its kind in the tri-state area of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, that was named a Robotic Surgery Epicenter for benign gynecologic surgery.

The da Vinci Surgical System is state-of-the-art robotic technology that translates the surgeon’s expert hand motions into precise movements of the tiny surgical instruments inside the patient’s body. This results in smaller incisions, less pain and faster recoveries. Da Vinci technology is used for a variety of minimally invasive surgical procedures, including:

• Hysterectomy and gynecological cancers (Español)
• Hysterectomies (benign conditions) (Español)
• Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, heavy uterine bleeding and uterine prolapse
• Cancers of the uterus or ovaries
