Robotic technology is being increasingly used in surgery. GynaeBOP is an early adopter of this technology and is currently the only provider of robotic procedures for gynaecology in New Zealand.
Robotic technology offers advantages over traditional laparoscopic techniques:
- 3D high definition vision
- Articulated instruments that allow for greater precision
This technology translates into the following potential advantages for the patient:
- Reduced blood loss
- Shorter hospital stay
- Reduced post operative pain
- Lower complication rates
- Better surgical result particularly for endometriosis
GynaeBOP offers robotic hysterectomy at present but in the future the repertoire will be expanded to fertility, endometriosis and prolapse procedures.
