Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the experiences of women undergoing gynecologic robotic surgery. Method: A qualitative descriptive phenomenologic approach was used. We conducted phone interviews with women who had undergone a gynecological procedure via robotic 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. Conclusion: Because of the newness of this procedure, the women in this study indicated that they had concerns and lacked information about robotic 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.
