Robotic Surgery for Women's Cancers
At OHSU, specially trained surgeons use the robot to perform surgical procedures with unmatched precision and control, using only a few small incisions. Women’s cancers we treat with robotic surgery include:
- Cervical cancer
- Endometrial cancer (uterine)
- Some cancer staging such as lymph node dissections
Advantages of robotic surgery include:
- Less discomfort after surgery
- Fewer complications
- Reduced scar tissue formation
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and earlier return to normal activities
