Reclaiming Your Quality of Life
Hearing that you need surgery—whether to remove painful fibroids, treat debilitating endometriosis, or undergo a hysterectomy—is inherently frightening. Historically, major gynecological surgery meant a large abdominal incision, nights spent in a hospital bed, and weeks of painful, restrictive recovery away from your family and your job.
Today, you don't have to put your entire life on hold to reclaim your health. MomDoc is proud to offer highly advanced, minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery, allowing us to perform complex procedures with unparalleled precision and minimal physical trauma.
The Power of the da Vinci® System
MomDoc utilizes the da Vinci® Surgical System, the gold standard in computer-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
Instead of opening the abdomen, your MomDoc surgeon operates through a few tiny incisions. The surgeon sits at a console in the operating room, viewing a high-definition, highly magnified 3D image of the surgical site. The system's robotic arms hold specialized instruments that bend and rotate far beyond the physical limitations of the human wrist.
This technological advantage translates directly into patient benefits:
- Unmatched Precision: The system completely filters out natural hand tremors, allowing for microscopic dissection of delicate tissues, such as safely peeling severe endometriosis away from healthy organs.
- Minimized Scarring: Incisions are often smaller than a dime.
- Drastically Reduced Pain: Less muscle and tissue are cut, which clinically correlates to significantly less postoperative pain and a drastically reduced need for strong narcotic pain medications.
Clinical Facts: Our Approach to Surgery
Technology is only as effective as the physician utilizing it. We treat surgery not as a first resort, but as a precise, permanent solution when conservative treatments have failed. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines state that minimally invasive approaches (like vaginal or robotic laparoscopy) are clinically superior to open abdominal surgery for noncancerous conditions [1].
We routinely perform the following robotically:
- Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus for conditions like severe bleeding, painful fibroids, or prolapse.
- Myomectomy: The precise removal of uterine fibroids while meticulously preserving the uterus for future childbearing.
- Endometriosis Resection: The careful excision of deep endometrial tissue to relieve chronic pelvic pain.
- Sacrocolpopexy: The repair of pelvic organ prolapse using mesh for long-term structural support.
Your Peace of Mind
We understand the anxiety that precedes surgery. Your MomDoc surgeon will sit with you in our Living Room environment well before your procedure date, ensuring you understand exactly why this procedure was chosen, what will happen in the operating room, and what your specific recovery timeline will look like.
You deserve to get your life back. Robotic surgery helps you do that, faster and safer than ever before.
