Robotic Surgery

At MIGYNAE, we are committed to providing exceptional care to women through advanced surgical techniques.

One of the most innovative techniques we offer is robotic surgery. This cutting-edge approach allows us to treat various gynaecological conditions with precision, minimally invasive methods, and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery.

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, involves using a robotic system to perform complex gynaecological procedures with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control.

The da Vinci Surgical System is the most commonly used robotic platform, providing a high-definition 3D view of the surgical area and enhanced dexterity through robotic arms.

The surgeon operates the robotic system from a console, controlling miniaturised instruments with high dexterity. This technology is particularly beneficial in gynaecology, offering several advantages over traditional surgical methods.

Conditions Treated with Robotic Surgery

  • Overview: Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and potentially leading to fertility issues.
  • Robotic Treatment: Robotic surgery allows for precise excision of endometrial tissue with minimal damage to surrounding organs. The enhanced vision and control help in effectively removing endometriotic lesions, reducing pain, and improving fertility outcomes.
Endometriosis Robotic Surgery Information Sheet
  • Overview: Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure on other organs.
  • Robotic Treatment: Myomectomy, the surgical removal of fibroids, can be performed robotically. This method allows for meticulous removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, leading to less blood loss and quicker recovery.
Myomectomy Robotic Surgery Information Sheet

  • Overview: A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, performed to treat various conditions such as fibroids, cancer, and severe endometriosis.

    Robotic Surgery: Robotic-assisted hysterectomy employs advanced robotic systems to carry out the procedure with greater precision through small abdominal incisions. This approach provides reduced postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery time compared to traditional techniques.

Benign Hysterectomy Robotic Surgery Information Sheet
  • Overview: Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when pelvic organs drop from their normal position due to weakened supporting muscles, often causing discomfort and urinary issues.
  • Robotic Treatment: Robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy is used to repair pelvic organ prolapse. The precision of the robotic system ensures accurate placement of surgical mesh, providing effective and long-lasting support to pelvic organs.
  • Overview: Cancers affecting the female reproductive organs, such as cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancer, require precise treatment to remove cancerous tissues.
  • Robotic Treatment: Robotic surgery is highly effective in performing hysterectomies and lymph node dissections for cancer treatment. The minimally invasive approach reduces pain, lowers infection risk, and shortens hospital stays, allowing for quicker postoperative recovery.
  • Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions mean less pain, reduced scarring, and shorter recovery times.
  • Enhanced Precision: Robotic instruments provide superior dexterity and control, and reduces tissue trauma and nerve damage around important organs.
  • Improved Outcomes: Patients often experience better outcomes with fewer complications and faster return to normal activities.
  • Overview: Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and potentially leading to fertility issues.

  • Robotic Treatment: Myomectomy, the surgical removal of fibroids, can be performed robotically. This method allows for meticulous removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, leading to less blood loss and quicker recovery.
  • Overview: Chronic pelvic pain can result from various conditions, including adhesions, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
  • Robotic Treatment: Diagnostic laparoscopy and treatment of underlying causes can be efficiently performed using robotic surgery. The enhanced visualisation and precision of the robotic system aid in identifying and treating the sources of chronic pain.
  • Overview: Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when pelvic organs drop from their normal position due to weakened supporting muscles, often causing discomfort and urinary issues.

Temporary Practice Closure from 1 pm Thursday 29 October until Tuesday 3 November 2026

MIGYNAE rooms will be closed from 1 pm Thursday 29 October until Tuesday 3 November 2026 inclusive for essential IT systems maintenance.

You are welcome to submit enquiries by email during this period. However, these will be attended to when we re-open.

For urgent clinical matters, please contact Dr Genia Rozen’s rooms on (03) 8376 6230 for any urgent clinical cover during A/Prof Catarina Ang’s conference leave during the same dates.

Normal services are expected to resume on Wednesday 4 November.

Thank you for your understanding.
