Gynecologic Surgery
When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve
symptoms for Oklahoma women, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment
for a range of gynecologic conditions. These can include
cervical and
uterine cancer,
uterine fibroids,
endometriosis, uterine prolapse and
menorrhagia,
which means excessive bleeding, along with others.
Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access
to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has for many years been the
standard approach to many gynecologic procedures. Yet with open surgery
can come significant pain, trauma, a long recovery process and threat
to surrounding organs and nerves. For women facing gynecologic surgery,
the period of pain, discomfort and extended time away from normal daily
activities that usually follows traditional surgery can understandably
cause significant anxiety.
Fortunately, less invasive options are available for
Oklahomans. Some gynecologic
procedures enable surgeons to access the target anatomy using a vaginal
approach, which may not require an external incision. But for complex
hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, Mercy's robotic surgery
with the da Vinci® Surgical System may be the
most effective, least invasive treatment option. Through tiny, 1-2
cm incisions, Mercy surgeons operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and
risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood
of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
