Robotics Assisted Surgery- The da Vinci Surgical System
The Center for Women's Health at Evergreen takes great pride in providing our patients with innovative, quality health care. In partnership with Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, we are pleased to announce our association with da Vinci Surgical System.
Recent breakthroughs in surgical technology have led to a new category of minimally invasive surgery. It is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to both open surgery and laparoscopy for many patients. Surgery is performed with the help of a robotic assisted platform, through the smallest of incisions. Potential benefits of robotic assisted surgery include significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, less risk of infection and a faster return to normal activities.
Two of our physicians are currently working with the da Vinci system. Both Dr. Kathryn Arendt and Dr. Guoli Johnston have completed training and are now scheduling patients for surgery utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System for patients meeting the criteria. A number of gynecological procedures are appropriate for robotic surgery. If you are considering a hysterectomy, endometriosis surgery, prolapse surgery, or if you have concerns involving ovarian cysts, masses or fibroids, call our office for a consultation with Dr. Arendt or Dr. Johnston to determine if the da Vinci system is the right approach for you.
