Robotic Gynaecological Oncology

Robotic Gynaecological Oncology

Robotic-assisted surgery allows gynaecological oncology procedures to be performed through small incisions, guided by magnified 3D visualisation and instruments with a greater range of motion than the human hand. This approach often means less blood loss and a faster recovery compared with open surgery. At UMC Victoria Hospital, our Department of Cancer offers robotic surgery for gynaecological oncology in Kampala, Uganda, for eligible patients:

  • Hysterectomy
    robotic-assisted removal of the uterus for cancers such as endometrial cancer
  • Lymph node dissection
    precise removal of nodes for staging
  • Ovarian tumour surgery
    minimally invasive removal where appropriate
  • Reduced recovery time
    smaller incisions typically mean shorter hospital stays
  • Careful patient selection
    suitability assessed based on tumour type and extent

Not every gynaecological cancer is suited to a robotic approach, so eligibility is determined case by case. Book an appointment with our specialist today.
