Robotic GYN procedures have more complications than DualPortGYN surgery. When robotic surgery is recommended, patients need to get a second opinion from a GYN specialist.
Most patients take off more time for recovery due to increased pain. Robotics uses larger and more incisions than standard laparoscopic surgery or DualPortGYN procedures. These are delicate surgeries, and there are better, more sophisticated surgical options.
Paul J. MacKoul, MD - Bethesda and Natalya E. Danilyants, MD use retroperitoneal dissection in the DualPortGYN approach, which helps to visualize the entire anatomy surrounding the uterus and ovaries, providing a roadmap and minimizing complications.
Any time Robotic surgery is used for GYN treatment, there is an increased risk of damage to surrounding areas, including nicks to the bowel and the ureter, often requiring additional surgery to correct. With better options for recovery and pain, if your OB/GYN recommends robotic surgery, contact CIGC for a consultation to review alternative surgical options. Learn more about Dr. MacKoul and CIGC from Dr.Paul MacKoul presentations.

- The American Congress of OB/GYN (ACOG), the premier society in Obstetrics and Gynecology: OB/GYN’s should be using other types of procedures such as standard laparoscopy instead of robotics.
- The American Association of GYN Laparoscopic Surgeons (AAGL), the largest and most well regarded society for minimally invasive GYN surgery worldwide: Robotic surgery should not be used if standard laparoscopy and vaginal hysterectomy are available.
