Gynecologic Surgery with da Vinci
 Remember the days when surgery for a gynecologic condition meant a large incision, days in the hospital and weeks of painful recovery? Thankfully, many women who choose Covenant HealthCare have an easier option.
Doctors can treat a range of gynecologic conditions -- from chronic pelvic pain to abnormal bleeding -- with a minimally invasive da Vinci® surgery. This state-of-the-art, robot-assisted surgery requires only a few small incisions, allowing fast recovery and better clinical outcomes.
Cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia/excessive bleeding are some of the most common gynecologic conditions in which da Vinci® surgery is used.
Seven out of 10 women nationwide now choose da Vinci® surgery rather than conventional laparoscopy or vaginal surgery.
At Covenant HealthCare, more than 800 gynecologic robotic surgeries have been performed since they debuted the da Vinci® system three years ago, which is more than any other robotic procedure.
