Laparoscopic myomectomy in TALOS INTUITIVE CARE - Robotic GYN surgery
About the clinic
Laparoscopic myomectomy at TALOS Intuitive Care in Athens, Greece, is a minimally invasive surgery to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. The procedure is performed by Dr. Nikolaos Plevris using the advanced da Vinci Xi robotic system. This method is known for high precision, allowing for the removal of even large fibroids with smaller incisions and less blood loss.
Advanced Robotic Myomectomy
The clinic uses the da Vinci Xi surgical system from California. This robot gives the surgeon 3D vision and instruments with seven degrees of freedom. These features help Dr. Nikolaos Plevris reach every part of the pelvis easily. The robotic arms mimic human hand movements but with greater stability. This precision helps in repairing the uterine wall effectively after fibroid removal. Most patients stay in the hospital only overnight. The recovery period is short, with a return to work typically within 2 to 4 weeks.
Expert Care by Dr. Nikolaos Plevris
Dr. Nikolaos Plevris is a Consultant OBGYN with over 20 years of experience in the field. He is the first SRC-accredited Master Surgeon in Robotic Surgery in Greece. Dr. Nikolaos Plevris received his fellowship training through the NHS in the United Kingdom. He also holds an ATSM in Gynecological Oncology from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. His background in research includes work on hereditary ovarian cancer, bringing deep clinical knowledge to every surgery.
Benefits and Fertility
Choosing a robotic approach offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. Patients often experience less pain and a lower risk of wound infection. The cosmetic results are better because the incisions are very small. For women planning a family, this procedure can help improve the chances of conception. Doctors usually recommend waiting about 6 months after the surgery before trying to get pregnant. This time allows the uterus to heal completely.
Treatment in Accredited Facilities
Surgeries are performed at JCI-accredited hospitals such as Metropolitan General and HYGEIA. These facilities meet international safety standards for surgical care. The clinic holds a 5/5 rating from patient reviews, reflecting a high level of trust. International patients can start their journey with a virtual consultation. The team helps with flight bookings, hotel arrangements, and even tourist visits in Athens. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your personalized treatment plan.

TALOS INTUITIVE CARE - Robotic GYN surgery: more details about the clinic
Talos Intuitive Care is a single-specialty medical provider in Athens, Greece, founded in 2005. The clinic focuses on robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery for international patients. All procedures take place at affiliated private hospitals, including Metropolitan General Hospital and HYGEIA Hospital.
Accreditations and Achievements
The clinic holds JCI accreditation, an international gold standard for healthcare quality. Lead surgeon Dr. Nikolaos Plevris is the first SRC-accredited Master Surgeon in Robotic Surgery in Greece. He is certified by the General Medical Council in the UK and the Hellenic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Dr. Plevris currently leads a research project on hereditary ovarian cancer. He completed fellowship training in gynecological oncology and minimally invasive surgery within the NHS in the United Kingdom. He also holds an ATSM certificate in Gynecological Oncology from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
Robotic Gynecologic Specialties
The clinic treats complex gynecological conditions with minimally invasive surgery. Robotic platforms allow precise tissue handling through smaller incisions. This reduces scarring and shortens hospital stays for overseas patients.
Specialists treat various conditions and perform several key procedures:
- Robotic-assisted hysterectomy for uterus removal
- Robotic-assisted myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus
- Robotic endometriosis excision to diagnose and remove deep lesions
- Ovarian cystectomy for cyst removal with a focus on preserving ovarian tissue
Most patients need only an overnight hospital stay after these procedures. The clinic's enhanced recovery program helps patients return to normal activities faster.
For endometriosis, surgeons use robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision to remove lesions while protecting surrounding structures. Patients with uterine fibroids can choose robotic myomectomy instead of open surgery, even for larger growths. Medications are also available to manage pain and regulate periods.
Advanced Surgical Technology
Talos Intuitive Care uses the da Vinci Xi system for surgeries. This robotic platform includes a surgeon console, a patient-side cart, and a high-resolution 3D vision system. The console translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise motions of articulated EndoWrist instruments inside the body.
The vision system uses a 3D endoscope for magnified, high-definition images of the surgical site. Robotic arms provide steadier control than human hands during delicate maneuvers. This precision matters most when removing complex fibroids or excising endometriosis from pelvic walls.
Services for International Patients
The clinic is built around English-speaking travelers. Surgeons trained in the UK speak fluent English. Patients can start with a virtual consultation to review medical documents and imaging.
International support services include:
- Assistance with flight and hotel bookings
- Coordination for family member accommodations
- Arrangements for tourist visits in Athens during recovery
- English-language medical coordination and post-operative monitoring
Surgeries take place at Metropolitan General Hospital (226 beds) or HYGEIA Hospital (18 operating theaters, 440 beds). Both are private facilities that meet international standards for patient care and comfort.
