Minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive surgeries are associated with several potential benefits, including:

• Positive clinical outcomes
• Minimal scarring
• Quicker recovery times
• Shorter hospital stays

Many of our surgical platforms use robotic technology. These systems enable complex surgeries to be performed using minimally invasive techniques.

Our systems use a robotic arm that a surgeon controls from a console. The arm features tools used during surgical treatment, including an endoscopic camera and a scalpel. These advanced systems can also generate 3D models of your unique anatomy. Using these detailed images, surgeons can better plan and provide treatment.

Our medical teams can perform various surgeries using robot-assisted technologies.

Thoracic surgery

Advanced technology enables our doctors to perform surgery on the chest using small incisions. Minimally invasive, robot-assisted surgery is an option for specific cardiovascular treatments, including those used to treat valve prolapse and heart disease and thoracic procedures, such as lung surgery.

Colorectal surgery

Surgeons can perform colorectal procedures with robot-assisted tools, such as colectomy — the removal of all or part of the colon — and lower anterior resection — the removal of the rectum by attaching the colon to the anus. These surgeries are also often used to remove cancer from colorectal tissue.

General surgery

Robotic technology allows surgeons to perform common surgical procedures. All robotic procedures can be completed successfully with small incisions through minimally invasive surgery. Additionally, these procedures performed with robotic technology allow for less pain and a quicker recovery

Spinal surgery

Robot-assisted surgery has advanced the field of spinal procedures, offering numerous benefits to both you and surgeons. The robot's advanced imaging and navigation capabilities enable surgeons to plan and execute procedures with unparalleled accuracy.

Gynecological and gynecological oncology surgery

Robot-assisted surgery is an option for many women's surgeries. We offer two formats for these procedures: multi-port surgery, which includes several small incisions and single-site surgery. Robotic surgery may also be an option for cervical, ovarian or uterine cancers.

Urologic surgery

Robotic-assisted surgeries are extremely helpful in urologic procedures due to their precise nature. The use of robotic technology in urology allows for more complex, delicate surgeries with improved outcomes.

Orthopedic and spine surgery

Robotic technology allows surgeons to perform computer-assisted surgery on various joint and spinal abnormalities. The robotic approach allows for improved preplanning, accurate measurements, precise implant placement and better outcomes than traditional methods.

Pulmonary procedures

This technology allows physicians to more accurately identify, isolate and diagnose pulmonary nodules and irregularities discovered in radiologic studies. Some possible benefits to robot-assisted pulmonary procedures include:

• Increase the percentage of lesions with tissue diagnoses
• Potentially decrease the time from diagnosis to treatment in lung cancer
• Require no incisions at all
