Why Robotic Surgery is a Leading Treatment Option
The skilled doctors of Women’s Specialists of Plano are trained experts in robotic surgery. This alternative treatment to general hysterectomy surgery offers patients living in the Plano, Frisco and Dallas, Texas communities a quicker recovery, minimal pain and side-effects and a decreased risk for complications.
Women’s Specialists of Plano offers the da Vinci robotic hysterectomy as an effective alternative to general hysterectomy surgery.
They recently offered the following physician feedback and patient reviews for da Vinci Robotic Surgery. The majority of these reviews were collected and written by Intuitive Surgical—the developers of the da Vinci robotic system based out of Sunnyvale, CA.

“After … deciding upon a radical prostatectomy, I quickly did extensive research regarding my options. When I discovered information about the procedure using the da Vinci Surgical System, I was convinced that this was the only option for me. I was back to work after four and a half weeks and even played racquetball after six weeks.” da Vinci Prostatectomy patient, aerospace design engineer

“I would recommend the robotic hysterectomy to any of my friends or family who are faced with having to have a hysterectomy. After the procedure, I only took pain medications on the first day. My scar is so tiny that I forget it is even there. I’m about four weeks post-operative and looking back, I cannot think of a better experience in terms of a surgery and after-recovery.” Robotic Hysterectomy Patient
