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 Removal of Uterus, Ovaries and Fallopian Tubes Patient Education

http://www.PreOp.com
Patient Education Company
Your doctor has recommended that you have a hysterectomy with the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. But what does that actually mean?

Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus - the organ that holds and protects the fetus during pregnancy.

Hysterectomy often also involves the removal of other parts of the reproductive system, including the ovaries - where eggs are produced - the fallopian tubes which carry the eggs to the uterus and the cervix - or neck of the uterus.

There are many different reasons why a doctor may recommend this kind of surgery.

In many cases, disease or the growth of abnormal tissue will lead a doctor to recommend the removal of the uterus, the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
In some cases, unusually heavy menstrual flow and the accompanying discomfort may make hysterectomy an important treatment option for patient and physician to consider.

But no matter what the reason behind it, you should be aware that the removal of the uterus and other reproductive organs is a serious step and it can mean significant changes in your life.

After having a hysterectomy, you will not be able to have children and if because your ovaries are removed as part of the procedure, you may even need to take medication to replace hormones that your body once produced on its own.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.
