Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining develops outside the uterus. It can cause severe period pain, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, bowel or bladder symptoms, and difficulty conceiving. Because these symptoms can overlap with other conditions, diagnosis and treatment may sometimes be delayed. When medication does not provide adequate relief or the disease is extensive, surgery may be considered. Robotic endometriosis surgery in Mumbai offers an advanced minimally invasive approach designed to help surgeons precisely identify and remove endometriotic lesions while aiming to preserve healthy tissues.
Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar provides advanced gynecological surgical care with expertise in minimally invasive, laparoscopic, and robotic procedures. Her specialized training allows her to manage complex gynecological conditions with an emphasis on precision, fertility preservation, and individualized treatment planning.
Robotic endometriosis surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed using a robotic surgical system controlled entirely by the surgeon. Small incisions are made to introduce a camera and specialized instruments. The surgeon operates from a console while viewing a magnified, three-dimensional image of the pelvic anatomy.
The robotic instruments provide enhanced dexterity and a greater range of movement, which can be particularly useful when endometriosis has caused dense adhesions or involves delicate structures. The objective is to remove visible endometriotic lesions and adhesions as thoroughly as appropriate while protecting surrounding healthy tissues.
Unlike conventional open surgery, robotic surgery generally involves smaller incisions. This may contribute to less postoperative discomfort, reduced scarring, and a smoother recovery for appropriately selected patients.
Endometriosis can affect women differently. Some may experience severe symptoms, while others may have relatively mild symptoms despite significant disease.
Common symptoms include:
Endometriosis may also result in adhesions, which can cause pelvic organs to become stuck together. In advanced disease, lesions may involve areas close to the bowel, bladder, ovaries, or other sensitive structures.
