Why CIGC Never Uses Robotics in GYN Surgery

Are you considering a robotic hysterectomy or robotic surgery to treat endometriosis? Find out why the doctors at CIGC to not use robotics for their procedures.

Many studies have shown that the robotic approach for GYN surgery does not have any clinical advantages over regular laparoscopic procedures.

Robotic procedures take longer to perform, and are at a much higher cost.

“Aggressive direct-to-consumer marketing of the latest medical technologies may mislead the public into believing that they are the best choice. Our patients deserve and need factual information about all of their treatment options, including costs, so that they can make truly informed health care decisions.” -Dr. James Breeden, President, American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
