Women who undergo this minimally invasive procedure typically have less pain following surgery. Less risk of infection, less blood loss and fewer transfusions. Aside from the surgical benefits, the cosmetic outcome is also a big plus for patients. Vivian von Gruenigan, MD Director of Robotic Surgery at University Hospitals Case Medical Center states, "Instead of having a long surgical scar, they have 3 to 4 small scars from the ports. In addition, they take less narcotics and they can return to work sooner."
