DaVinci expert tri come together to perform WA first

Dr Raj Mohan, Dr Abe Jacob, Dr Alarick Piccardo and the team performed a first in WA on the weekend with the first robotic total pelvic exenteration procedure. It was fantastic to observe 3 expert da Vinci surgeons supported by an excellent team collaborate for the best possible outcome for the patient. Dr Mohan said that the patient is doing well.

A pelvic exenteration is surgery to treat cancer of the reproductive organs. During the procedure, healthcare providers remove the vagina, cervix, ovaries and uterus. They may also remove the bladder, anus, and part of the intestine. Healthcare providers may recommend this surgery if the patient has cancer that returns or doesn’t go away after other cancer treatments.
