Robotic Hysterectomy for Endometrial Cancer

M. Patrick Lowe, MD, renowned robotic surgeon and gynecologic oncologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, will demonstrate the use of robotic surgery to treat endometrial cancer.

Dr. Lowe, director of the robotics and minimally invasive surgical program for the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, was among the early adopters of robotics to treat gynecologic malignancies, citing precision, improved dexterity and superior patient outcomes among the benefits.

"Women diagnosed with a gynecologic malignancy want the shortest route leading back to a degree of normalcy post treatment," says Lowe. "Robotic surgery offers the path of least resistance, combining shorter recovery times with superior outcomes."

Improved Operative Outcomes in Open Hysterectomy

John Elkas, MD of Inova Fairfax Hospital and Warner Huh, MD of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital will lead a live webcast of a panel discussion on the various uses of the LigaSure Impact™ instrument and the ForceTriverse™ device during open hysterectomies complicated by the presence of cancer.

The doctors will review video footage of several cases performed by Dr. Elkas on June 2nd at Inova Fairfax hospital. These procedures feature multiple uses of the latest in tissue fusion and electrosurgical technology during gynecologic and oncologic procedures. "The instruments bring increased speed and efficiency to all my procedures at the same time giving me confidence in the hemostasis provided by the instruments. They are an essential part of my practice," says Dr. Elkas. "The fact that I can keep my focus on the operating field while activating and adjusting the power from the surgical field is a great safety feature."

Hysterectomy, a Teleplay

UN BECOMING is a play that was first produced by the HERS Foundation Off Broadway in New York in February 2004 and in about 30 cities since then. The play revolves around Emma Douglas, a woman who has everything...to lose. She is sensual, smart and driven. Painting is her life's breath. But a medical opinion threatens everything. UN BECOMING explores how any woman can lose control when the voice of intuition is silenced.

What every woman wants to know about hysterectomy

Because the uterus is inside the pelvis, the functions are not visible. The uterus sits behind the bladder and in front of the bowel, supporting them and keeping them in their natural place. When the uterus is removed, the bowel drifts down to take up the space where the uterus had been. Uterine contractions that occur during orgasm will not be experienced after the uterus is removed. During a hysterectomy the uterus is removed, and the hormone-responsive, sexual, and pelvic support functions are permanently lost.
