Robotic and minimally invasive surgery offers a revolutionary alternative to conventional open surgery that requires long recoveries and scarring. Nancy Magsino, MD, of Optimum Women's Care, PLLC, in Katy, Texas, and the surrounding Houston area has been performing robotic surgery since 2010, excelling at both routine and complex laparoscopic procedures. If you have a condition that may require gynecological surgery, call the office to set up a consultation or use the online tool to schedule.
Minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and tiny instruments to perform surgical procedures. This involves laparoscopic surgery in which a thin tube affixed with a light and camera is inserted through a small incision to broadcast the area of treatment onto a monitor in the operating room.
Robotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery in which Dr. Magsino uses master controls to manipulate instruments that perform the surgery. The instruments translate your surgeon’s movements into precise, detailed actions that are superior to what the human hand can do alone. Dr. Magsino is in control of the robotic platform at all times.
A minimally invasive approach to surgery affords you many benefits as compared to traditional open surgery including:
Robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery is of value because it enables Dr. Magsino to apply a level of precision simply not available with the human hand, despite her great skill and experience. The robotic arms can also twist and bend to degrees not possible during conventional surgery.
The robotic platform also provides a 3D image of the surgical site so she can complete your procedure with enhanced vision.
Robotic and minimally invasive surgery is useful for routine and complex procedures. Dr. Magsino may use it for:
Not every practice offers the advantages of robotic and minimally invasive surgery as an option to treat your gynecological problems. Dr. Magsino has the skill and expertise to determine when these procedures are right for you.
