Robotic surgery for cervical cancer treatment at Fletcher Allen offers many benefits over traditional treatments.

Robotic Surgery for Cervical Cancer Treatment Benefits

Patients find the following benefits from robotic surgery for cervical cancer:

Significantly less pain after surgery
Shorter recovery time
Less scarring
A faster return to normal daily activities
Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
Shorter hospital stay

Our robotic surgeons are specially trained in the most advanced surgical technology available. This means fewer and smaller incisions.

The type of cervical cancer, and how advanced it is, determines your treatment options. A hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) is often the first recommendation for women with early stage gynecologic cancer. Hysterectomy also may include removing:

Ovaries
Fallopian tubes
Select lymph nodes

Hysterectomy is the second most common surgical procedure for women in the United States. Fletcher Allen physicians perform many robotic hysterectomies annually.
