Robotic Gynecologic Surgery: What it Means for Women

Objective: The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the experiences of women undergoing robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery. Methods: A qualitative descriptive phenomenologic approach was used. We conducted phone interviews with women who had undergone a gynecologic procedure via robotic-assisted surgery in a gynecology clinic of a university hospital (n=19). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women, and data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s methods. Results: Two major themes were identified. These two themes concerned: (1) Ambivalent Feelings on Robotic Surgery, and (2) Robotic Surgery was a Piece of Cake. Conclusions: Because of the newness of this procedure, the women in this study indicated that they had concerns and lacked information about robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery but that their decision was influenced by the confidence they had in their physicians. The women indicated that they had confidence in the robotic technique and recovered quickly physically

Jinekolojik Robotik Cerrahi: Kadınlar İçin Anlam

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile, jinekolojik robotik cerrahi ile ameliyat olan kadınların robotik cerrahi ile ameliyat olma kararı, bu ameliyat şeklinin kadına ne hissettirdiği ve ameliyat sonrası deneyimlerini derinlemesine incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada nitel fenomenolojik yaklaşım kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında jinekolojik robotik cerrahi operasyonu geçiren 19 kadın ile görüşülmüştür. Kadınlar ile telefon görüşmesi yapılmış ve veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Görüşmeler sonucu elde edilen verilerin değerlendirmesinde Colaizzi’nin fenomenolojik yorumlama metodu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada (1) Robotik Cerrahiye İlişkin Ambivalans Duygular ve (2) Robotik Cerrahi Çok Kolaydı olmak üzere iki ana tema tanımlanmıştır. Sonuç: Kadınlar, robotik cerrahinin yeni bir uygulama olması ve daha önce duymamış olmaları nedeniyle kaygı ve anksiyete yaşadıklarını ifade etmiştir. Ancak kadınların tamamı doktorlarına duydukları güvenin bu kaygıyı azalttığını ve robotik cerrahi ile operasyonu kabul etmelerinde etkili olduğunu belirtmiştir. Kadınlar, robotik cerrahi sonrası kendilerini fiziksel olarak çok iyi hissettiklerini ve güven duyduklarını bildirmiştir
