Minimally invasive surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is an effective surgical method that is less intrusive than traditional surgery. By using small incisions and instruments, we are able to create positive surgical outcomes that typically have minimal scarring, faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays.
Our minimally invasive surgical services
With robotic surgery, your surgeon's hands are at the controls of an advanced, precise robotic platform.
Robotic surgery procedures we perform
Our robotic surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for:
- General surgery (such as hernia treatments and gallbladder removals)
- Bariatric surgery (surgical weight loss)
- Spine surgery
- Urologic procedures
- Kidney organ donor surgery (nephrectomies)
How robot-assisted surgery works
During robotic surgery, your surgeon remains in complete control of the robotic surgery system at a console next to you. The system has robotic "joints," which offer greater accessibility and a greater range of motion than the human wrist. These joints seamlessly translate your surgeon's hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of the tiny surgical instruments inside the body.
Additionally, with the camera attached to the small surgical instruments, surgeons can view 3D, high-definition and magnified images of the surgical site. This advanced robotic system allows surgeons to perform some of the most complex and delicate procedures through tiny incisions.
Why we offer robot-assisted surgery
With your safety and care always first in our minds, we offer minimally invasive and robotic techniques to surgery because of the many benefits these procedures offer you.
