Jenny Powell, 56, gives health update two weeks on from her robotic hysterectomy and issues one key warning to others having the surgery

Jenny Powell gave a health update two weeks on from her robotic hysterectomy on Thursday - and issued one key warning to others having the surgery.

While the devices cost just under £2 million each, they slash the time it takes to perform the delicate surgery, and as they also work with pinpoint accuracy it means patients recover faster. Called Hominis, this surgical system is operated by a human controller who maneuvers the robotic arms while watching the procedure happening on a screen in real time. Jenny spoke candidly about her experience with perimenopause - the time before a woman's periods stop - and said she didn't address her symptoms straight away and her condition became worse because she'd left it so long.
