When the diagnosis calls for a surgical solution, Sutter offers a number of options available on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Each of the regional hospitals provides some gynecological surgical services including minimally invasive techniques.

Robotic - assisted (da Vinci) surgery is available at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, to treat various gynecological conditions. The da Vinci is a new, less invasive advanced surgical system that helps your surgeon see vital anatomical structures more clearly and to perform a more precise surgical procedure.

For most patients, the da Vinci assisted surgery offers numerous potential benefits over open surgery including a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss and fewer transfusions, less scarring, faster recovery, and quicker return to normal activities.

For more information, see The da Vinci® Surgical System.
