Da Vinci Robotic surgery or a regular manual laparoscopy?

Hi, please help me to decide between the Da Vinci Robotic surgery or the regular manual laparoscopy? Have a 7 cm cyst which might be endometriosis!

  1. thanks for reaching out. It really depends on who is performing the surgery, what’s available to you and if this is what you want. It’s a decision that only you can take after talking to your doctor. I’ve had a mixture of both. I don’t think it made a difference to the way in which it was done or my post-surgery recovery. I found an endometriosis specialist and went with that 😀 – Jessie (team member)

    1. Hi - I agree with Jessie, it depends on who is performing the surgery. I have had both. I don't know if I really noticed a difference in either or. I do know when I had surgery by an endometriosis specialist though, not just a regular gyno, I did feel much better. So I would definitely chat with your doctor about it to see which would be best for you 😀 Hope you are having a good Thursday! -Kimberli (Team Member)
