A gynaecological examination is essential for women’s health. It includes a series of checks and tests aimed at monitoring the health of the female genital organs (vagina, uterus, and ovaries). During a gynaecological examination, the doctor can detect any abnormalities or pathologies at an early stage, such as vaginal infections, precancerous lesions of the cervix (cervicitis), and ovarian tumours, which can affect gynaecological health. Gynaecological examinations also include screening for cervical cancer (Pap test) and, depending on age and risk factors, screening for ovarian and uterine cancer. These tests are also essential for monitoring reproductive health, the menstrual cycle, and general sexual health. In this context, the doctor can advise on various topics, such as contraception, family planning, pregnancy, and menopause. For women with chronic conditions (endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids), regular gynaecological examinations are crucial for monitoring disease progression and assessing treatment.

A comprehensive gynaecological check-up includes a series of exams and cancer screenings, such as the Pap test, to detect early cell abnormalities in the cervix that may indicate cancer. A gynaecological check-up may include tests to detect infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and HIV. Early diagnosis and timely treatment of these conditions are crucial to prevent complications and protect sexual and reproductive health. During this type of check-up, the doctor performs a complete pelvic examination to assess the health of the internal and external genital organs; this examination can detect abnormalities, masses, and ovarian cysts. During gynaecological examinations, the doctor can also provide education and advice on preventing gynaecological diseases, intimate hygiene, the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, and other aspects of women’s health.

Robotic gynaecological surgery is a healthcare procedure performed using a robot-assisted surgical system, making it minimally invasive. This means it requires much smaller incisions instead of the large cuts typical of traditional ‘open’ surgery, reducing surgical trauma, postoperative pain, risk of complications, and overall recovery time. The robotic system offers surgeons greater precision during the procedure and provides a high-definition, three-dimensional view of the area to be treated. This allows the operator to visualise anatomical details more clearly and magnify them, facilitating delicate tissue manipulation and improving surgical precision. Robotic gynaecological surgery can be adapted to a wide range of procedures (hysterectomies, removal of uterine fibroids, removal of ovarian cysts, correction of uterine prolapse, and treatment of endometriosis). This offers patients advanced and personalised treatment options tailored to their specific healthcare needs.
