Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy da vinci method
hysterectomy
I am not sure what my damages were/are but I have had bowel issues ever since my hysterectomy (severe diarrhea for many months post-op). My surgery was not da Vinci though. It appears that the da Vinci is more likely to cause harm than other methods. A friend who was damaged by da Vinci said reports of damages by the robot have increased significantly.
Surgical recovery from hysterectomy (absent surgical damage) takes 6 months to a year.
I do not have personal experience. But, my husband's aunt had a complete hysterectomy with the da Vinci robotics this past week. She is doing extremely well and has very small scars. I have seen others post about this method in the past and all reports I have heard have been positive. It is wonderful that technology has advanced to this place where we have some options! I hope some others with personal experience will come along and share.
Surpassing the limits of conventional laparoscopic surgery, da Vinci is revolutionizing gynecologic surgery for women. No wonder more and more women are choosing da Vinci Surgery for their hysterectomy. In fact, since it was cleared by the FDA in 2005, surgeons have performed more than 100,000 da Vinci Hysterectomies.
i’m 25 and just had a full hysterectomy and oophorectomy three days ago (with the da vinci robot). i understand that you’re supposed to wait several weeks before inserting anything inside the vagina, so sexual penetration is a no-go. what i want to know is how long i should wait until i masturbate using only external stimulation? i’m worried that the orgasm itself may be bad for healing or hurt because of the way the muscles contract. does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
after alot of doctor visits with other specialists to rule out any other cause for my pelvic pain I was back at the GYN again and NOW he is referring me to another doctor who performs a surgery called Da Vinci surgery, which is less invasive. My question is number one, is it safe...what are the side effects if any and do you feel that is a safe way to deal with my medical problem?
I had a hysterectomy last Nov by da Vinci. It is great! The doctor is behind the robot but there are several others at your side assisting her. I had the easiest recovery. No pain really at all (besides the gas they pump in there). I never even filled my prescription for the pain medicine! Hope this helps.
The literature I have read up to this point about the da Vinci robotics describe vaginal vault and bladder sling mesh controlled procedures. My surgeon is Elizabeth Geller of UNC teaching hospitals who has done extensive studies on this procedure and submitted several journal articles. I am just concerned about the repair of the tear in the wall of the rectum which will be part of the surgery. I haven't seen this procedure mentioned. Is it a common part of the repair surgery?

I had a da Vinci hysterectomy also (last year). Those probably ARE stitches on your vaginal cuff. My gyn said they can take up to 6 months to dissolve.
I had a laparoscopy done in Jan 2015, and went for a IVF, but failed. The doctor is planning to have the Da Vinci Robot to remove the cycts. I did some research online, I think the Da Vinci is treated for cancer. And doctor admitted that he didn't clean everything out when he did the laparoscopy in Jan. I want to know if anyone has the same experience that can be shared? and I am thinking to change another doctor, but not sure if this is a good idea. I'd really appreciate your help.
Hi, I had da Vinci robotic surgery for prolapse Sept. 2012. The first three days after surgery are the hardest. You might have a catheter, which I did for five days, which would help you with the downstairs bathroom problem. You will be given pain medication which most women don't need more than a week. You will need to keep your stooles soft so you don't strain.
Saw the Oncologist yesterday and am scheduled for a da Vinci laproscopic total hysterectomy on May 1st. Dr. Saffari was much more positive about the chances for benign tumor (50/50) and I am very happy to know that as long as it is benign or borderline they can complete the procedure laproscopically.
I'm 54 yrs. old and almost finished with menopause. Have a prolapsed uterus and need a hysterectomy. It will be done with the da Vinci robotics. My mother died from breast cancer and I don't know whether or not I should keep my ovaries. Need advice.
I had a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy using the Da Vinci Monday of this week. I have been doing really well (emotionally and physically) since the procedure and started taking Estrogen Tuesday upon returning home from the hospital. I previously took the same Estrogen dosage I am currently taking in April of this year to be sure my body could handle the medicine. I am 33 years old and have had 2 children (ages 10 and 4).
More modern surgery performed by an advanced robot (Da Vinci) which is more precise but the doctor can not see further around the region to see whether the cancer has spread.
5. HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) which burns away parts of the prostate but not the whole prostate. There's conflicting reports as to it's advantages/disadvantages.
All in all there's thus 5 options here that my father, currently living in Portugal, can choose from.
I have to decide if I will do Da vinci robotic surgery or laparoscopic surgery (without the robot) by tomorrow. Does anyone have any input or suggestions? My surgeon said that the scars are larger and higher on the torso (just under ribs) using Da vinci but there is more torq with laparoscopy during surgery, therefore more stretching of the abdominal wall during the procedure. I am terrified of the whole thing.:( I welcome anyone's input. Thank you!
i had total hysterectomy done on Sept. 1, 2010. The procedure was a da Vinci laparoscopy or a robot assisted lap. and the uterus was removed thru the vagina. I had D& C thru the same procedure done on Feb. 22. 2010 and never had any problems after that but the second one, the hysterectomy, i'm experiencing severe spasms and pain on the left side of the stomach. The pain is described as squeezing, tightening feeling that never stops.
If you search PUBMED for "myxoma robotic surgery" you get several articles from the Drs. that did it.
