University Women’s Care, a part of University of Mississippi Health Care, offers our female patients the next generation of surgical techniques with the use of robot-assisted surgery. This minimally invasive surgery offers:

• Quicker recovery time.
• Decreased pain at the time of surgery.
• Shorter hospital stay (if necessary).
• Less scarring.
• Minimal blood loss.
• Faster return to normal activities.

Using the da Vinci® robotic surgical system, our specially trained surgeons have increased dexterity and sharpened precision for improved surgical performance. With a high-powered camera, surgeons maneuver the arms of the robot while viewing a magnified, high-resolution, 3-D image. Most incisions are tiny, measuring only 1 to 2 centimeters compared to open surgery incisions that required multiple stitches and distinctive scarring.

Our surgeons use the da Vinci system for procedures including, but not limited to:

• Hysterectomy (benign or cancer).
• Radical hysterectomy.
• Myomectomy (removal of fibroids).
• Lymph node dissections.
