Advanced hysterectomy with the precision of robotic-assisted surgery
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and is one of the most commonly performed gynaecological procedures.
While many women require a hysterectomy for heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids or adenomyosis, others may benefit from surgery for endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain or other benign gynaecological conditions
Dr Sam Sabary offers robotic-assisted hysterectomy, providing women with access to advanced minimally invasive surgery using the latest robotic technology.
Dr Sabary performs robotic hysterectomy using the da Vinci 5 Surgical System, offering enhanced precision, exceptional visualisation and greater instrument control than conventional laparoscopic surgery.
This technology allows complex procedures to be performed through a series of small incisions while maintaining detailed control throughout surgery.
For many women, robotic surgery may offer benefits including:
Smaller incisions
Reduced post-operative pain
Less blood loss during surgery
Lower risk of wound complications
Shorter hospital stay
Faster recovery and return to normal activities
Every woman's circumstances are different, and not everyone is suitable for robotic surgery. During your consultation, Dr Sabary will discuss your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals before recommending the most appropriate surgical approach.
Access the latest robotic surgery closer to home
Dr Sabary performs robotic hysterectomy at St John of God Geelong Hospital, the only hospital in regional Australia equipped with the latest da Vinci 5 Surgical System.
This means women from Geelong and across western Victoria can access some of the most advanced robotic surgical technology available without needing to travel to metropolitan Melbourne.
Patients from Ballarat, Warrnambool, Bendigo, the Surf Coast and surrounding regional communities can receive advanced minimally invasive gynaecological surgery closer to home, while remaining close to family and support networks.
Combined with Dr Sabary’s expertise in advanced minimally invasive gynaecological surgery, the da Vinci 5 provides exceptional visualisation, precision and instrument control to support complex hysterectomy procedures.
Conditions commonly treated with robotic hysterectomy
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy may be recommended for women experiencing:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Uterine fibroids
Adenomyosis
Endometriosis
Chronic pelvic pain
Pelvic conditions requiring hysterectomy
Other benign gynaecological disorders
Dr Sabary has a particular interest in managing women with complex pelvic disease, where meticulous dissection and preservation of surrounding structures are important considerations.
Why choose robotic hysterectomy?
Robotic technology does not replace the surgeon, it enhances the surgeon’s ability to perform highly precise surgery.
The da Vinci 5 robotic system provides a magnified three-dimensional view of the pelvis together with highly flexible instruments that allow controlled movements during complex procedures.
These capabilities can be particularly valuable for women requiring surgery for conditions such as advanced endometriosis, previous abdominal surgery, obesity or significant pelvic scarring, where careful surgical planning and precision are important.
Robotic hysterectomy combines advanced technology with the expertise and judgement of an experienced gynaecological surgeon. Dr Sabary takes a personalised approach, ensuring every woman receives care tailored to her symptoms, diagnosis and individual circumstances.
Consultation
If you have been advised that you require a hysterectomy or would like a second opinion regarding your treatment options, Dr Sam Sabary welcomes referrals from both GPs and specialists.
A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, explore your treatment options and determine whether robotic hysterectomy is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Dr Sabary will guide you through what to expect before, during and after your procedure, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout your surgical journey.
