A typical setup of the Davinci Robot for Robotic Surgery in the Philippines

I am EVANGELINE B. TABLIZO, 67 years old and was diagnosed with Endometriod Adenocarcinoma Grade II last May 4, 2015. I had Robotic Surgery Philippines.

Last June 2, 2015 I had a Robotic Surgery Philippines Hysterectomy, Bilateral Solpingooophorectomy with Bilateral Lymph Node Dissection performed by Dra. Rebecca B. Singson at the St. Luke’s Global City. The operation started at 5:25 p.m. and was done by 9:20 p.m. or a total operation time of 3 hours 55 minutes.

From the recovery room I was brought up to my room at no. 812 at around 2:00 a.m. of June 3, 2015. I was already awake and the first person I saw was my daughter Johanna and so I greeted her “good morning”. God is so good because I was not in pain and I felt good although there was a little discomfort due to my catheter from the robotic surgery. At 9:00 a.m. the catheter was finally removed and I felt so relieved. I then started to walk around my room. At 5:00 p.m. Dr. Singson visited me and when she saw me walking already she told me that I could go home but I insisted that I wanted to rest for another night. I was discharged the next day, June 4, at 12:00 noon.

When I left St. Luke’s last June 4, I did not have any post operative Robotic Surgery Philippines pain. Another advantage of robotic surgery was the lower risk of wound complication since it dried up easily after one week. After only a week from my surgery I was able to do some of my regular activities such as going to church, the mall and lunch- out with my family and friends.
