Victorian women now have access to advanced robotic technology for gynaecological surgeries with leading women’s health hospital, Frances Perry House, unveiling the State’s first CMR Versius Robotic System.
The Versius System is designed to allow specialists to perform minimally invasive gynaecological and urogynaecological surgical procedures with heightened precision and to offer patients faster recovery times, less time in hospital and a reduced risk of infection.
Frances Perry House Gynaecologist, Dr Alex Ades said the robot can allow trained surgeons “more precision, more control and more comfort” during surgery.
While patients can still opt to have surgery laparoscopically, he said the robot is designed to offer patients “less pain, quicker recovery and a prompter return to work.”
Frances Perry House CEO, Shaune Gillespie, said with the addition of the Versius Robot and a new, fourth operating theatre, Frances Perry can now offer even more Victorian women access to leading, dedicated women’s health care services.
“As a specialist women’s health care facility, we’re excited to be able to offer Victorian women access to leading robotic technology to perform minimally invasive gynaecological and urogynaecological surgical procedures,” Mr Gillespie said.
“We are passionate about providing high quality care and better outcomes for our patients; the introduction of Versius combined with the development of our fourth theatre earlier in the year represents an exciting time for the Frances Perry team.”
