Currently, minimally invasive surgery is the standard of care for women. In this sense, laparoscopy and robotic surgery are leading the way. Not only has evidence-based medicine demonstrated its benefits for patients in terms of faster recovery, less pain, and less blood loss, but it is also advantageous for surgeons in terms of enhanced magnification of the surgical field, allowing us to make accurate cuts.
She often uses a method called “shared decision-making” with the woman to help her figure out the best way to help her and the best treatment plan. The goal is for each woman to feel heard and to have complete autonomy over the decision-making process.
