Robot recovery: If you have already had the surgery, you have experienced the worst part of the recovery. I am sure your surgeon took great care to reduce the incidence of adhesions (scar tissue). This can be the biggest problem down the road. You were fortunated to have your procedure done with the davinci. Development of additional fibroids has to be considered long term.
