The davinci system is a robotic operating system, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for gynaecologic surgery in 2005, is one of the newest technologies available for the treatment of gynaecologic problems including hysterectomy, ovarian surgery for cancer and other conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse.
For most patients, robotic surgery can offer numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to vaginal, laparoscopic or open abdominal hysterectomy, particularly when performing more challenging procedures like radical hysterectomy for gynaecologic cancer or sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse.
