Expert Hands, Advanced Technology: Dr. Coiner and the Future of Hysterectomies
Major advancements in women’s health don’t happen every day… so when they do, they matter!
At Chestnut Ridge Medical, we are proud to announce an exciting step forward in surgical care by welcoming our newest physician, Dr. Jack Coiner. Dr. Coiner is trained to perform robotic-assisted hysterectomies and is MIGS (minimally invasive gynecologic surgery) certified. His MIGS certification signifies his specialized training and commitment to offering patients the least invasive, most effective surgical options available. Combined with his ability to perform robotic-assisted procedures, this enables our practice to deliver an elevated level of care, tailored to each patient’s needs.
While the technology is impressive, it’s the experience and skill of the surgeon that makes the difference. Dr. Coiner’s expertise significantly expands and elevates the surgical care options available to women in the High Country.
What does a Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy offer?
● Less blood loss
● Reduced post-operative pain
● Shorter hospital stays
● Faster recovery times
How We Got Here: From Traditional Surgery to Robotic Precision
Historically, hysterectomies were performed with larger incisions and longer recovery times. However, the introduction of laparoscopic surgery changed that, allowing procedures to be done through small incisions, leading to less pain, less scarring, and faster recovery for many patients.
Robotic-assisted surgery builds on these minimally invasive techniques. Fully controlled by the surgeon, robotic-assisted surgery translates the surgeon's movements into refined, controlled surgical actions.
Patient FAQs: Robotic Hysterectomy
What is a robotic hysterectomy?
A robotic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon uses robotic-assisted technology to remove the uterus with enhanced precision and control.
Is the robot performing the surgery?
No. Dr. Coiner performs the surgery and always remains in full control. The robotic system simply assists by enhancing precision and visualization.
Who is a good candidate for a robotic hysterectomy?
Patients with conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, heavy bleeding, or prior abdominal surgeries may be candidates. A consultation with Dr. Coiner can help determine the best surgical approach.
What is recovery like?
Many patients experience less pain and a faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery. Recovery varies by individual.
Is robotic surgery safe?
Yes. Robotic-assisted surgery is FDA-approved and widely used. When performed by a MIGS-certified, trained surgeon like Dr. Coiner, it is a safe and effective option for many patients.
