Gynecologic Robotic Surgery
Robot-assisted procedures in the hands of skilled surgeons can be less invasive and do not require large incisions, making them an ideal choice for many gynecological surgeries. UC Irvine Health gynecologic oncologists use the da Vinci Surgical System® to perform minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgeries for the treatment of cancer and other conditions involving the female genital tract. These include:
The UC Irvine Health Robotic Oncology Center uses the latest robotic technology to treat cancer. It is one of a handful of multidisciplinary robotic oncology centers in the United States and the first of its kind in the western United States. Through the center, patients at UC Irvine Medical Center, Orange County's only university hospital, have access to the expertise and care provided by our highly skilled team of surgeons, nurses and technicians who specialize in using the da Vinci system.
