Robotic Gynecology Surgery
Our gynecologists experts at Hackensack Meridian Health are pioneers in innovative robotic surgery for treating conditions of the reproductive organs and pelvic area, including cancer.
During robotic surgery, the robot’s surgical instruments and a camera are inserted into your body through several small incisions. Your surgeon performs your surgery by directing the robot’s movements in real time. The robot’s tools move with greater range of motion and precision than a human hand.
We’ve long been a leader in robotic surgery for women, starting with the introduction of robotic hysterectomy more than 20 years ago. Our team of gynecology robotic surgeons offers experience you won’t find anywhere else in the area.
