At Gleneagles Hospital Johor, we are proud to embrace the latest advancements in medical technology to provide our patients with the best care possible. One of the most exciting developments in the field of gynaecology is the use of robotic system. Over the past year, Dr. Alexandriia, one of our esteemed consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecologists, has been at the forefront of this revolution, performing a wide range of gynaecological procedures using the state-of-the-art DaVinci XI robotic system. Here, Dr. Alexandriia shares her experiences, insights, and enthusiasm for this groundbreaking approach to surgery.
A Year of Robotic Surgery: Transforming Gynaecological Care
In the past year, Dr. Alexandriia has successfully operated on numerous women with benign gynaecological conditions, ranging from simple to complex cases. Her expertise includes ovarian cystectomies, myomectomies, excision of severe endometriosis, and hysterectomies. Each procedure has been performed with the precision and efficiency that robotic surgery offers, resulting in improved outcomes for patients.
Personal Views on Robotic Surgery
Reflecting on her experience, Dr. Alexandriia enthusiastically states, "All surgeries should be done robotically! The robot makes minimally invasive surgery simpler, safer, and more efficient. Patients benefit the most, experiencing little to no pain after surgery and quicker recovery times." On average, her patients have a hospital stay of just 1.8 days and resume their normal activities or return to work within one week of major surgery.
Mastering the Robotic Surgery System
Dr. Alexandriia describes her experience with the Robotic system as nothing short of extraordinary. "The system that we hone is a beautiful piece of equipment. I can perform complex surgeries while comfortably seated at the console, viewing amazing 3D High-Definition images of the pelvis and pathology. The robotic arms allow me to operate with ease, precision, and dexterity."
The Future of Surgery
"Robotic surgery is reshaping how we perform surgeries not just in the field of gynaecology – it is the future," Dr. Alexandriia asserts. She believes that the precision and efficiency offered by robotic surgery make it an ideal choice for procedures such as hysterectomies and myomectomies.
Conventional vs. Robotic Surgery
During consultations, Dr. Alexandriia offers patients all available surgical methods: open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgery. She provides candid discussions about the pros and cons of each type, though the majority of her surgeries are now performed either laparoscopically or robotically.
Why Choose Robotic Surgery?
Dr. Alexandriia advises her patients to choose robotic surgery for several compelling reasons. "I can perform their surgery more precisely and efficiently, which means less risk of surgical complications. Operating time is reduced, leading to lower risks of infection and bleeding. The amount of anesthesia required is also less, translating to quicker recovery times."
