A surgical team at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have successfully carried out the area’s first robotic-assisted hysterectomies for severe endometriosis.
The state-of-the-art surgery, performed using a robotic surgical system by a team of specially trained doctors, nurses and anaesthetists, could help hundreds of women suffering with severe endometriosis and other benign yet debilitating gynaecological conditions of the womb. The NHS describes endometriosis as a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It can affect women of any age, including teenagers.
She then went on to have monthly injections before now having a full hysterectomy. The robotic-assisted hysterectomy enabled surgeons to remove her entire womb and cervix through five incisions less than 1cm long on her abdomen. Since having the robotic hysterectomy, Katie, who was “gobsmacked” when she saw the minimal scarring on her abdomen, has remained pain-free. As well as a quicker recovery, Katie was also full of praise for the hospital staff.
