10 12 robotic hysterectomy Wittrock had read about a woman who underwent a robotic-assisted hysterectomy in a community newsletter and was glad to learn that she was a candidate for the procedure. She had the procedure in early May, and her recovery has been good. “I knew others who had hysterectomies, and it seemed that the recovery and the surgery were better with the robot,” says Wittrock, who is 49. “I was only in the hospital overnight, and just two weeks after my procedure, I was feeling pretty good.” Wittrock adds that she experienced minimal pain that was easily controlled with over-the-counter medication. She was able to return to her normal activity relatively quickly and reports that four weeks after surgery she was back to walking the dogs three to four miles a day. da Vinci Epicenter for Women’s Health and Gynecology teaching robotic-Assisted Surgery continued from previous page Surgeons from anywhere in the country now have the opportunity to train in advanced robotic-assisted surgeries at the da Vinci Epicenter for Women’s health and Gynecology at United hospital. this new center focuses on women’s health and gynecology and is the first in Minnesota. the center is one of only 20 nationwide and provides training that demonstrates the depth, comprehensiveness and best practices of the da Vinci ® Surgical System program for minimally invasive myomectomies, hysterectomies and sacrocolpopexies. the center’s training surgeons are board-certified obstetrics and gynecology surgeons ragnvald (ron) Mjanger, Md, fACoG, and Eric English, Md, fACoG. dr.
