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.

What is robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery is the way of the future, offering both patients and surgeons alike a wealth of new possibilities for solving complex problems through less complex surgical means.
Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to use advanced robotic mechanisms to perform complex surgeries with increased precision through several small incisions, as opposed to one, long incision typically used in traditional surgery.
Our robotic surgical system uses a magnified high-definition, 3D camera for optimal visualization. It is supplemented with special surgical tools, allowing your surgeon to bend and rotate instruments farther than the abilities of the human wrist. When combined, these capabilities enable your surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control.
