Consultant-Led Robotic Gynaecological Surgery in Central London
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy at LSDC Healthcare is performed by consultant gynaecological surgeons with advanced expertise in minimally invasive and robotic pelvic surgery.
This approach combines surgical precision with reduced tissue trauma, allowing complex hysterectomy procedures to be carried out with greater accuracy, improved visualisation, and enhanced preservation of surrounding structures.
All care is delivered in a private, consultant-led setting in the City of London, with personalised surgical planning and structured post-operative follow-up.
What is a Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy?
A robotic-assisted hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus using a robotic surgical platform controlled entirely by the consultant surgeon.
The robotic system provides:
-
High-definition, 3D magnified vision
-
Wristed instruments with enhanced dexterity
-
Precise dissection in confined pelvic spaces
This enables safe removal of the uterus through small abdominal incisions, with or without preservation of the cervix and ovaries, depending on clinical indication.
Who is This Procedure For?
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy may be recommended for women with:
-
Symptomatic fibroids
-
Endometriosis involving the uterus
-
Adenomyosis
-
Abnormal uterine bleeding refractory to treatment
-
Precancerous uterine conditions
-
Early-stage gynaecological malignancy (selected cases)
-
Complex pelvic anatomy or prior pelvic surgery
Suitability is confirmed following consultant assessment and imaging.
Clinical Benefits and Indications
Clinical benefits include:
-
Reduced blood loss
-
Less post-operative pain
-
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
-
Shorter hospital stay
-
Faster return to normal activity
-
Enhanced precision in complex cases

Not necessarily. Ovary preservation is discussed individually and depends on age, symptoms, and clinical indication.
How long will I stay in hospital?
Most patients stay one to two nights, depending on recovery and complexity of surgery.
Is robotic surgery safe?
Yes. Robotic surgery is well-established and safe when performed by experienced consultant surgeons.
How long before I can return to work?
Many patients return to desk-based work within 2–3 weeks, with full recovery by 4–6 weeks.
Is robotic hysterectomy covered by private insurance?
Yes. It is commonly covered by UK private medical insurers, subject to policy terms and authorisation.
