The theatre team in Wexham Park celebrated a milestone moment last month with obstetrics and gynaecology consultant Miss Sarah Smyth performing her 100th robotic-assisted hysterectomy. 

Sarah said it was:

“An important day to recognise the work of the team and all of us working together to get through so many cases safely. A keyhole robotic-assisted procedure is more precise and accurate, it reduces operating time, improves healing and recovery and will ultimately help us to improve waiting lists.” 

Sarah specialises in gynaecological cancer and was performing a robotic-assisted 100th hysterectomy on a 60-year-old woman from Farnham Common who had abnormal cells on the womb. 

The patient said:

“I was happy to be operated on using the robot as the recovery time is quicker. I considered going private for the procedure, but I had built such a good rapport with Sarah, I'm glad I decided to go ahead with the Frimley team."
