Robot surgery offers hope to cut endometriosis waits in Northern Ireland

Belfast City Hospital's £2.4m Da Vinci robot, the first of its kind on the island of Ireland, has performed 130 operations since May, 105 on women with complex endometriosis. Women there wait about seven years for complex surgery. Patient Colleen Crothers, who waited decades, hopes others are spared. A £1.95m investment in endometriosis services is also being announced.
