Fibroid Treatment
If your doctor recommends surgery to treat uterine fibroids, you may be a candidate for the new, uterine-preserving, minimally invasive da Vinci myomectomy. Using the assistance of the most advanced combination of surgical and robotics technology available - the da Vinci Surgical System - da Vinci myomectomy enables surgeons to perform this delicate operation with unmatched precision and control - using only a few small incisions.
For many patients, this robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy can provide the most effective, least invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. It is also a uterine-preserving alternative to open abdominal hysterectomy. Among the potential benefits of da Vinci myomectomy, as compared to traditional open abdominal surgery:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- A shorter hospital stay
- And a faster return to normal daily activities

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is both patient- and procedure-specific. The da Vinci Surgical System is considered safe and effective, but this procedure may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
