A New Era in Endometriosis Treatment

Vithas Xanit International Hospital is pioneering a complete approach to treating endometriosis, a debilitating condition affecting a significant portion of women during their reproductive years.Their innovative strategy combines the precision of latest-generation robotic surgery with the therapeutic benefits of advanced neuromodulation, offering new hope for improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.

Understanding the Impact of Endometriosis

Endometriosis, a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, impacts an estimated 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Beyond the often-severe pelvic pain, it can lead to urinary and digestive issues, and even infertility, significantly diminishing a woman’s overall well-being. Recognizing the profound physical and emotional toll this condition takes, Vithas Xanit International Hospital is committed to providing minimally invasive, precise, and personalized care.

The Da Vinci XI: A Leap Forward in Surgical Precision

At the heart of this innovative approach is the da Vinci XI surgical robot. Dr. Emilia Villegas, head of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Vithas Xanit International Hospital and Vithas Málaga, emphasizes the advantages of this technology: Robotic surgery not only allows smaller incisions, with less bleeding and a shorter postoperative period, but also offers millimeter accuracy in arduous access areas. The da Vinci XI’s four robotic arms faithfully replicate the surgeon’s movements, providing a magnified, high-definition 3D view of the surgical field. This enhanced precision, particularly valuable in cases of deep endometriosis, allows for 360-degree movements even in confined anatomical spaces.

The da Vinci XI system represents the pinnacle of surgical platforms, designed to amplify the surgeon’s capabilities and facilitate interventions in complex areas like the female pelvis. By minimizing risks and complications, this technology aims to preserve sensitive anatomical structures, reducing the potential for long-term side effects and promoting faster functional recovery for patients.

Neuromodulation: A Complementary Therapy for Pain Management and Healing

Complementing the robotic surgery is NESA neuromodulation technology,which delivers imperceptible transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Dr. Villegas explains that this applied technique before surgery, and mainly maintaining it, favors postoperative recovery, reduces chronic pain by reaching a regulation of the autonomic nervous system. This approach aims to regulate the autonomic nervous system, contributing to reduced chronic pain and improved postoperative recovery.

Synergistic Benefits: Robotic surgery and Neuromodulation

Dr. davinia moya, a Gynecologist specializing in minimally invasive surgery and endometriosis at Vithas Xanit International Hospital, highlights the synergistic benefits of combining these two advanced technologies. The combined approach of robotic surgery and neuromodulation promotes tissue healing by reducing inflammation and improving vascularization. This comprehensive treatment strategy aims to provide enhanced and long-lasting relief for patients.

Expanding the Scope of Robotic surgery

The Vithas Xanit international Hospital leverages the da Vinci XI surgical robot across multiple specialties, including urology and digestive surgery, offering minimally invasive robotic surgery with maximum precision.
