Robotic Surgery

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic-assisted surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery, performed through a few small incisions. During robotic-assisted surgery, your surgeon controls the da Vinci surgical system through a special console in the room.

​

What makes robotic surgery different than open surgery?

The da Vinci’s vision capabilities give your surgeon a highly magnified, crystal-clear, 3D view while operating, so he or she can see the fine details of your surgery.  Your surgeon uses tiny instruments that fit through small incisions to make precise movements and access hard-to-reach places beyond the limits of the human hand.

​

What are the benefits of robotic surgery to patients?

Robotic surgery has been associated with shorter length of hospital stay, fewer complications, and lower blood loss.
