This document discusses robotic surgery and the da Vinci surgical system. It provides background on Dr. DeSalvo and his qualifications. It then discusses hysterectomy statistics and different surgical routes. The rest of the document discusses the evolution of technology leading to robotic surgery and the benefits of using the da Vinci system, including improved visualization and wristed instruments.

4. Hysterectomy facts
Approximately 525,000 hysterectomies are performed
each year in the U.S. for non-cancerous conditions
By age 60, 1 in 3 women in the U.S. will have had a
hysterectomy
90% are performed for elective benign indications
Fibroids
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Endometriosis
Chronic pelvic pain
5. Route of Surgery
Abdominal
Requires a large
abdominal
incision
Usual hospital
stay is 2 to 4
nights
6 to 8 weeks of
recovery
6. Vaginal hysterectomy
The entire operation is performed through the
vagina
Requires good access to the uterus
More challenging in patients with prior
abdominal surgery or previous cesarean section
More challenging if the uterus is enlarged
Limited visualization of the pelvis and ovaries
7. Laparoscopic hysterectomy
Better visualization
Shorter hospitalization
Shorter recovery
Good visualization of the pelvic organs
Can be performed in a wide variety of
patients
Traditional laparoscopy requires a unique
skill set and commitment to the procedure

26. Summary
The addition of computer technology into the
operating arena is a natural evolution and progress
The addition of robotic platform for surgery is a
continuation of this progress
Mans tools continue to add great value to our lives
This tool will greatly reduce or nearly eliminate the
need for open surgery
The societal benefits of a surgical platform are vast and

#10: Here is a chart showing the correlation between the decline in open hysterectomy and an increase in da Vinci surgery. Its also worth noting that since the first laparoscopic hysterectomy in the US was performed in 1989, the adoption has been rather slow (18% penetration in 2010) and fairly stagnant since 2004. In just 5 years of clinical use, the da Vinci system has been used in more procedures than laparoscopy has been used over 20 years. Lap and vaginal approaches have remained relatively flat or have declined over this same time period. Why?Laparoscopic Surgery (Drawbacks of conventional laparoscopy use only if needed during presentation.)Lack of MIS penetration in complex pelvic procedures is due to technical limitations of conventional laparoscopy:2D visualization lacks depth perception & rigid instruments limit the surgeons precision and accuracy both make complex surgical maneuvers difficult.Counter-intuitive movement (to move left the surgeon needs to move the instrument right), which is difficult to sustain over long, complex procedures and even more difficult for a novice to learn.Vaginal Surgery is also difficult to perform:Limited access to uterine structures: uterus must be pulled out of the vagina to ligate the uterine arteriesLimited workspace (surgeon, assistant and nurse are working in the same space)Limited view of the anatomy (vascular structures and Comorbidities are very unlikely to be seen or addressed)Difficult to determine the source of intraop bleedingWould you agree these are limitations to both approaches? And with the rise of da Vinci adoption, the benefits of MIS extend to all women facing surgery for pelvic conditions not just hysterectomy.
