La surgical gynecology is experiencing a revolution thanks to the advancement of technology.
In recent years, robotic surgery in gynecology It has proven to be a key tool for offering less invasive, more precise treatments with faster recovery.
On Dra. Gómez Roig Institute, located in the Corachan Clinic in Barcelona, we have the surgical system Da Vinci®, currently the most advanced and widespread robotic platform in the world.
What is Gynecological Robotic Surgery?
Is a form of minimally invasive surgery in which the surgeon uses a robot to perform complex procedures through small incisions.
From a console, the specialist controls the robot's arms, which reproduce its movements with millimetric precision, eliminating tremors and facilitating access to complex anatomical areas with minimal invasion.
Key technical advantages:
- High definition three-dimensional (3D) vision.
- Optical magnification up to 10 times.
- Mobility of instruments beyond what the human hand allows.
- Greater precision and control, even with altered anatomy.
Main indications in gynecology
La robotic surgery in gynecology It is indicated in those patients who require complex interventions, especially when maximum precision, careful dissection is needed or there is a surgical history that makes other approaches difficult.
Frequently asked questions:
- Hysterectomy (benign or oncological)
- Myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids, preserving the uterus)
- Endometriosis deep (especially with intestinal or urinary involvement)
- Colposacropexy (uterine or vaginal prolapse repair)
- Oncologic surgery gynecological in early stages
In these settings, this type of surgery can offer better results than conventional laparoscopy, with a lower risk of complications and conversion to open surgery.
Benefits for the patient
This new technology not only represents a technical advance for the surgeon, but also offers multiple benefits for the patient:
- Less postoperative pain
- Less bleeding and lower risk of transfusion
- Lower risk of infections
- Faster recovery and less time in the hospital
- Small and aesthetic scars
- Fewer complications: lower risk of injury to neighboring organs, lower rate of reoperation and respiratory complications
La scientific evidence supports these benefits:
- En oncologic hysterectomy, robotic surgery reduces bleeding, the need for conversion to laparotomy, and major complications compared to other approaches (PMID: 31474433).
- En deep endometriosis, allows for more precise dissection with lower readmission rates (PMID: 30573994).
Accredited surgeons, proven experience
On Dra. Gómez Roig Institute, the procedures are performed by a team accredited in robotic surgery and with years of experience in complex surgical gynecology.
The safety of our patients is our priority.
We hold an multidisciplinary team which includes anesthesiologists, specialized nursing and postoperative follow-up professionals.
What is the cost?
It is more expensive than other techniques, due to the technology used and the human equipment required.
However, Its value lies in the benefits to the patient: better recovery, fewer complications and higher quality of life after surgery.
Approximate costs (private patient):
- Hysterectomy / Myomectomy / Endometriosis: 1 night – €18.000
- Oncological surgery (with lymph nodes): 2 nights – €19.000–20.000
- Bowel resection (severe endometriosis): >1 night – approx. €20.000
It includes: use of the robot, operating room, anesthesia, hospitalization, materials, follow-up.
Not included: preoperative testing, serious complications, special prosthetic materials.
Some private insurers such as Adeslas, MGC or DKV partially cover it in cases of gynecological cancer without metastasis or lymph node invasion, and with ASA physical status < 3.
Our infrastructure: Corachan Clinic
La Corachan Clinic It is one of the leading medical centers in Barcelona.
It combines cutting-edge technology with warm, personalized attention.
Since April 2025, we have incorporated the Da Vinci® System in collaboration with the urology service, which allows us to offer this type of surgery with maximum safety.
- Rooms designed for the comfort of the patient and their companion.
- Customized menus, hospital-grade hygiene, and continuous care.
- Central location, accessible and with all services.
