For patients, this often means less pain after surgery, a lower risk of infection, less blood loss, and smaller scars.
Because the incisions are smaller, most patients are able to get out of bed, walk, and return to normal daily activities sooner than they would after traditional open surgery. Many procedures can also be performed as outpatient surgeries or require shorter hospital stays, allowing patients to recover in the comfort of their own homes.

Robotic-assisted surgery offers the surgeon enhanced visualization and precise instrument control, which can be particularly helpful during complex procedures. While both laparoscopic and robotic techniques are forms of minimally invasive surgery, the goal is the same: to provide safe and effective treatment while minimizing disruption to the body and supporting a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Every patient and procedure is unique, and not everyone is a candidate for minimally invasive surgery. Here at Women’s Pelvic Surgery, our experienced surgeons Dr. Shakiba and Dr. Pinho, will discuss the approach that is most appropriate for your condition, overall health, and surgical goals.
