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 to expect with robotic surgery
Robot-assisted surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery in which doctors use robotic technology to perform procedures. This technology allows for enhanced imaging and increased accuracy both before and during the procedure.
Specifically, during a robot-assisted surgical procedure, a highly experienced, specially trained surgeon uses an advanced computer system to control robotic arms. The surgeon controls these arms from a console placed just a few feet away from the operating table. The robot has tiny surgical instruments and a high-definition, 3D camera, which aids in an efficient, successful procedure.
