Looks like I'll be having a robotic assisted myomectomy in August (uterine fibroids)
 

While this was not my first choice, the procedure I *really* wanted (MR Focused Ultrasound) is still deemed experimental by the insurance company so they don't have to pay for it. :rolleyes:

I'll be having surgery on at least two fibroids on August 5. One is roughly 12 cm and the other around 5 cm. It's actually fascinating at how far medicine has come. With this surgery, the doctor sits at a console about 10 feet away from the patient and he controls the robotic arms with hand and feet controls in order to perform the surgery. Very sci fi. :winky:

If anyone has happened to have this procedure I'd love to hear your experiences.
