GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY

Robotic Closed Fibroid Surgery

Robotic closed fibroid surgeryis a minimally invasive surgical method that allows the removal of fibroids, benign tumors that form in the uterus, without removing the uterus and without damaging the surrounding tissues. In this procedure, which is similar to the laparoscopic method, the surgeon's mobility is increased by using robot-assisted systems. In this way, the operation is performed in a more precise and controlled manner.

Gynecologist Oncologist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Karakaşis one of the names specializing in robotic fibroid surgery in Istanbul and offers uterine-sparing surgery options to its patients.

What is Fibroids?

Fibroidsare benign tumoral structures that develop in the myometrium, the muscular layer of the uterus. Although they usually do not cause symptoms, their size, number and location may cause some complaints. They occur in approximately -40 of women of reproductive age.

What are the Symptoms of Fibroids?

Long and heavy menstrual bleeding
Severe menstrual cramps
Anemia (anemia)
Abdominal swelling and pelvic pressure
Pain during sexual intercourse
Frequent urination
Constipation and digestive problems
Recurrent miscarriages

Since these symptoms can also be seen in other gynecological diseases, a gynecological evaluation is essential for a definitive diagnosis.

Is Robotic Fibroid Surgery Performed with Laparoscopy?

Yes, robotic fibroid surgery is also a laparoscopic operation. The difference is that the surgical instruments and camera are controlled from outside by the surgeon with robotic arms. This provides more precision, less trauma and clearer imaging.

Advantages of Robotic Fibroid Surgery

Uterine protection fertility is preserved thanks to
Made through small incisions → aesthetic advantage
Less pain, shorter recovery period
Low risk of infection and bleeding
Faster return to daily life
Detailed imaging with 3D high-resolution camera
Precise tissue protection with the mobility of robotic arms

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Karakaşoffers a comfortable and effective treatment to its patients with the advantages provided by this surgery.

How Long Does Robotic Fibroid Surgery Take?

Surgery is usually 1.5 to 3 hours lasts between one and two weeks. The duration may vary depending on the size, number and location of the fibroids.

How is Robotic Fibroid Surgery Performed?

The patient is under general anesthesia
Small incisions of 0.5-1 cm are made on the abdomen
Camera and robotic surgical instruments are inserted into the abdomen
Surgeon manages instruments from outside with robotic console
Fibroids are carefully removed, the uterus is protected
Fibroids are removed in a special bag outside the abdomen
The process is completed by closing the incisions

This method preserves the integrity of the uterus and shortens the healing time.

Is There Bleeding After Robotic Fibroid Surgery?

Light vaginal bleeding is normal. It usually subsides within a few days. However, if the bleeding is excessive or lasts for a long time, you should consult a doctor.

Can I Get Pregnant After Robotic Fibroid Surgery?

Yes, robotic myomectomy is a fertility-preserving surgery. However, pregnancy planning should usually be postponed for 4 to 6 months to allow the uterine tissue to fully heal.

What Should Be Considered After Surgery?

Rest is recommended for the first 5-7 days
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities
Sexual intercourse should be interrupted for at least 4 weeks
For 1 month, do not swim in the sea or pool
The surgical area should be kept clean and dry
Prescribed medicines should be taken regularly
Routine controls should not be interrupted

In this process Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Karakaşprovides support by closely following the entire healing process of its patients.

Robotic Fibroid Surgery Prices

The cost of robotic surgery varies depending on factors such as the hospital where the surgery will be performed, the characteristics of the fibroid and the technological equipment to be used.
