About Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is a sophisticated type of minimally-invasive surgery. Using special endoscopic cameras with magnification, high definition and 3D vision to view inside the body, your surgeon controls robotic arms to make tiny incisions in the patient’s body. These arms have tiny, wristed instruments, similar to a hand.

These advantages allow the surgeon to perform complex, delicate surgeries that could not be done laparoscopically before. As a result, patients have a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery with less pain.

Specialties that utilize the Robotic Da Vinci system:

General Surgery
Gynecological Oncology
Peditatrics
Urology
Thoracic
