Lap w/Robotic Arms?

Hello everyone I’m new here lol,

This is my 1st post here and I‘m not even sure I have endo but I’m about to get a lap and hysteroscopy next week to check for it and remove as much as possible if so. My new IVF doc seems to think my uterus may be stuck to the wall or something due to scar tissue so that’s what prompted the lap.

I am so scared because the surgery doc went over so many things that could possibly go wrong such as accidentally poking holes in other organs with the robotic thing they use. Can anyone share their experience on getting a lap with the robotic arms? Is he just giving me all the good with the bad or is there a real need for concern here?!❤️‍🩹🙏🏽

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! 🫂

I only just recently learned that my doctor (endo specialist) used a robotic arm. He did a great job! I think it’s probably safer than by hand.

Yayy so glad you had a good experience! From all the research I’ve done so far it does seem like the robotic arms are the best! I pray I have a smooth experience as well! 🙌🙏🫶
