Innovative Surgery Options for Gynecological Cancers
Surgery can be an effective treatment option for gynecologic cancers. At Jupiter Medical Center, we provide patients with state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical options, including laparoscopic surgery, vaginal surgery, and robotic-assisted surgery.
Our specialists use the da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgery System® to perform delicate gynecologic surgeries thanks to the robotic tiny instruments. We can opt for a single-site approach, which is a minimally invasive procedure that only requires one incision through the belly button and leaves no visible scar. It also reduces the risk of blood loss, wound infection, and pain.
Procedures we can use the da Vinci Surgery System for include:
- Hysterectomy. The surgical removal of the uterus can help patients with benign conditions or early-stage gynecologic cancers.
- Myomectomy. The surgical removal of fibroid tumors can preserve the uterus.
- Sacrocolpopexy. This procedure can correct vaginal vault prolapse after a hysterectomy. It typically uses mesh to hold the vagina in the appropriate anatomical position for long-term support.
Potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
- Faster recovery
- Less pain
- Smaller incisions
- Early return to normal daily activities
- Shorter hospital stay
If your care team recommends surgery, we can walk you through the process and address any concerns you may have, so you have a clear understanding of what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. We provide you with detailed pre-operative and post-operative care instructions.
If you have been diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer, contact Jupiter Medical Center today at 561-263-4400 to schedule a consultation. Next Day appointments are available.
