da Vinci

By using a da Vinci® robot, surgeons are able to perform complex surgeries with precision and control that is not possible with bare hands. The surgery system uses a small camera and instruments inserted through small incisions. While looking at a 3-D image of the surgical site, your surgeon controls the system with his or her movements translated as precise micro-movements. Unlike laparoscopic surgery, your doctor has a better view and can remain in a more comfortable position, which means more natural movements, leading to an improved experience for you.

Robotic surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to be more precise and enhances their ability to perform complex, minimally invasive surgery. The best candidates are individuals who have not had many abdominal surgeries. However, those who have had their appendix or gallbladder removed, or had an inguinal hernia repair, may still be a candidate.

The da Vinci system features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate – allowing far greater movement than is possible with the human hand alone. It translates your surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments. That means your surgeon can perform minimally invasive procedures that involve complex dissection or reconstruction.
