Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses a computer assisted technology to aid in surgical procedures. Rather than operating on patients through large incisions, surgeons use miniaturized surgical instruments that fit through a series of small incisions to reduce scarring and recovery time. Robotic surgery includes three arms that allow the surgeon to hold and manipulate high precision instruments, plus one more arm to hold and position the high resolution stereo endoscope.
We offer robotic surgery procedures for gynecology and general surgery.
A minimally invasive surgical technique, benefits of robotic surgery may include:
-
Significantly less pain
-
Fewer complications
-
Less blood loss
-
Less scarring
-
Shorter hospital stay
-
Faster return to daily activities
-
Better clinical outcomes in many cases
*Typical results depend on many factors. Consult your physician about the benefits and risks of robotic-assisted surgery for your condition. Before you decide on surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Understanding the risks and benefits of each treatment can help you make the best decision for your individual situation.
