'It took years to get pain-relieving surgery - I hope a robot means others won't have to wait'

Belfast City Hospital has the first Da Vinci robot for women with endometriosis. The robot can operate in tight pelvic spaces and is more precise than a human hand.

Da Vinci has performed 130 surgeries at Belfast City Hospital. 105 of them were on women with complex endometiosis. Four consultants have been trained to operate the robot.

Endometriosis is where tissue grows in the wrong places in the body. Colleen had a hysterectomy in June to remove the tissue. She is back at work and says the pain is gone.
