Both benign and malignant diseases can be successfully treated with the da Vinci® system.

Operations of malignant diseases:

• Endometrial surgery (uterine cancer)
• Cervical cancer surgery in (cervical neck cancer)
• Ovarian cancer surgery (ovarian cancer)
• Vaginal carcinoma surgery (vaginal cancer)
• Borderline tumour surgery (ovarian)
• Surgery on a relapse of malignant tumours in the pelvis area (recurrence of different primary tumours)

Operations of benign diseases:

• Uterine fibroids (benign muscle tumours)
• Endometriosis (benign growths of “endometrium”)
• Uterine Descent/Prolapse (sagging or protruding uterus and / or vagina)
• Urinary incontinence (involuntary loss of urine)
• Tubal surgery and refertilisation (reopening blocked fallopian tubes)
• Uterine dehiscence reconstruction (incisional hernia of the uterus after cesarean section)
• Adhesiolysis (e.g. adhesiolysis after previous surgery)

Robotic surgery has many advantages: compared to conventional methods, it leads to lower blood loss and a shorter hospitalisation period. Particularly severely obese patients will benefit from this procedure because they can undergo robot-assisted sugery without major difficulties.
