If your doctor recommends surgery to treat uterine fibroids, you may be a candidate for a new, uterine-preserving, minimally invasive procedure – 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, a da Vinci myomectomy can provide the most effective, least invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. It is also a uterine-preserving alternative to open abdominal hysterectomy.

da Vinci myomectomy allows your surgeon to perform a minimally invasive, yet remarkably precise, comprehensive reconstruction of the uterine wall, regardless of the size or location of your fibroids.

The unique level of control and precision provided by da Vinci also can help your surgeon provide the most precise and thorough reconstruction possible, helping to prevent possible uterine rupture (tearing) during future pregnancies.

Other potential benefits include:

  • Opportunity for future pregnancy
  • Significantly less pain
  • Less blood loss
  • Fewer complications
  • Less scarring
  • A shorter hospital stay
  • A faster return to normal daily activities

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is both patient- and procedure-specific.

While myomectomy performed using the da Vinci Surgical System is considered safe and effective, this procedure may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
