Robotic Surgery for Uterine Fibroids Explained

Q: Q. Will robotic surgery affect my fertility?

A. In most cases, robotic myomectomy preserves the uterus, improving chances of pregnancy. However, fertility outcomes depend on fibroid size, location, and overall reproductive health.

Q: Q. How many incisions are needed for robotic fibroid removal?

A. Typically, 3 to 5 small incisions are made in the abdomen for surgical instruments and a camera, leading to minimal scarring and faster healing.

Q: Q. Does robotic surgery reduce fibroid recurrence?

A. While it effectively removes fibroids, new ones may develop over time. Lifestyle changes and follow-up care can help manage recurrence risk.

Q: Q. What type of anaesthesia is used for robotic myomectomy?

A. General anaesthesia is used, ensuring you remain unconscious and pain-free throughout the procedure. Most patients wake up comfortably with controlled post-surgical pain management.
