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.
Robotic surgery in Broward County, Florida
Surgery doesn't have to be a difficult journey, especially if you have access to advanced expertise and technology.
We are proud to offer robotic surgery procedure options to our patients. Robotic surgical technology at HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital allows our surgeons to operate with more accuracy, flexibility and control than traditional open surgery, or laparoscopy.
Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows our surgeons to perform procedures without large incisions, using the robot's console arms to create small incisions and precisely maneuver surgical tools in the abdomen or pelvis. The surgeon manipulates the instruments in real-time through small incisions, resulting in a much less painful experience.
