Robotic Surgery

While surgery is never a first-line approach at Special Care for Women to treat women’s health issues, Dr. Richmond offers robotic surgery whenever it’s appropriate to address your needs, even when you require complicated pelvic surgery. Some of the most common procedures include:

Fibroid removal
If you have large uterine fibroids that are interfering with your overall health and fertility, Dr. Richmond can use robotic surgery to remove your fibroids via myomectomy. He can use the robotic arm to carefully remove the abnormal growths while leaving your uterus intact and not reducing your fertility.

Endometriosis scar tissue removal
Dr. Richmond also uses robotic surgery techniques to treat severe endometriosis. He uses the robotic arm to carefully remove endometrial tissue and scarring from your pelvic organs, including your ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus. This minimally invasive procedure can relieve your symptoms while preserving your fertility.

Hysterectomy
If you need a hysterectomy, Dr. Richmond can use robotic surgery to remove your uterus and other reproductive organs with minimal disruption to your life. Robotic surgery allows him to complete the procedure with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues so you can get back to your regular activities quickly and safely.

Robotic surgery provides Dr. Richmond with enhanced control, flexibility, and precision compared to traditional surgical techniques. Additionally, there are many patient benefits to opting for robotic surgery, including:
● Reduced risk of complications like infection.● Less blood loss and pain.● More rapid recovery.● Reduced risk of scarring.
