Robotic Myomectomy in Gurgaon & Delhi NCRBy Dr. Amita Shah

Dr Amita Shah is a senior consultant gynaecologist and expert in laparoscopic and robotic surgery with more than 30 years of experience in fibroid treatment in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR. 

What is Robotic Myomectomy?

Robotic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that removes uterine fibroids with the help of a robotic system fully controlled by the surgeon. The system magnifies the view in 3D, and the slim robotic instruments move with more flexibility than the human wrist, which helps the surgeon remove fibroids very precisely and repair the uterus carefully. The aim is simple. Remove fibroids, reduce symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain, and preserve the uterus for future pregnancy wherever it is safe to do so.

Why Choose Robotic Surgery for Fibroids?

Robotic myomectomy combines the small cuts of laparoscopy with sharper vision and more flexible, tremor free instruments. Studies show that robotic and laparoscopic myomectomy usually mean less blood loss, shorter hospital stay and fewer transfusions than open surgery, and in many complex cases robotic surgery can offer additional advantages.

Key benefits of robotic myomectomy include:

How Robotic Myomectomy Is Done

On the day of surgery you are under general anesthesia and asleep throughout. In simple terms, this is what happens:

A few small cuts are made
on the lower abdomen.

A thin 3D camera and robotic instruments are inserted
through these cuts.

Your abdomen is gently filled with gas so the surgeon can see clearly.

the robotic surgery.

Fibroids are identified, separated from the uterine muscle and removed.

The uterus is stitched in layers to restore strength and shape.

Robotic vs Laparoscopic vs Open Myomectomy

Feature
Robotic Myomectamy
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Open (Abdominal) Myomectomy
Cuts on abdomen
Small keyhole incisions
Small keyhole incisions
One larger incision
View inside
High definition 3D, magnified
2D or limited 3D
Direct line of sight
Instrument movement
Wrist like, tremor filtered robotic arms
Straight instruments with limited range
Surgeon’s hands and instruments through large cut
Blood loss
Often lowest, fewer transfusions in many series
Low to moderate
Usually highest blood loss
Hospital stay
Often 1 to 2 days
Often 1 to 3 days
Often 3 days or more
Recovery time
Fastest return to normal activities in many cases
Faster than open
Longest recovery
Best for
Multiple, large or deep fibroids, fertility focused cases
Moderate fibroids in simpler locations
Very large fibroids where minimally invasive options are not feasible
Both robotic and laparoscopic myomectomy are minimally invasive and usually offer less blood loss and shorter hospital stay than open surgery, while robotic surgery can give extra precision in complex or fertility focused cases.

Robotic Myomectomy vs Hysterectomy

Many women fear that fibroid surgery means removal of the uterus. Robotic myomectomy is designed to remove fibroids and keep the uterus wherever it is safe.

Aspect
Robotic Myomectomy
Hysterectomy
Uterus
Preserved, fibroids removed only
Uterus removed completely
Future pregnancy
Often possible after healing
Not possible after uterus removal
Main goal
Symptom relief with uterus preservation
Complete removal of uterus to stop symptoms
Dr Shah will help you decide between myomectomy and hysterectomy based on your symptoms, age and plans for future pregnancy.

Who is a Good Candidate

You may be a good candidate for robotic myomectomy if you:
In very large or complex cases, laparoscopic or open surgery may still be safer, which is decided after detailed evaluation.

Recovery and Safety

Most women walk within a day, stay in the hospital for a short time and return to light work faster than after open surgery. Scars are small, and pain is often less, though you will still need to follow all post operative instructions carefully.

As with any surgery there are risks such as infection, bleeding, injury to nearby organs, blood clots and the possibility of fibroid recurrence because the uterus is preserved. Large reviews show that robotic myomectomy usually offers less blood loss, fewer transfusions and shorter hospital stay than open surgery, with good outcomes in experienced hands.
