Robotic surgery offers patients many advantages over traditional surgery. For most patients, potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
· Shorter hospital stay
· Less pain and scarring
· Less risk of wound infections
· Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
· Faster recovery
· Quicker return to normal activities.
· Better outcomes
With the assistance of the da Vinci Surgical System, St. Joseph Hospital surgeons now perform complex surgical procedures through 1-2 cm incisions, and with greater precision and control than ever before. In fact, robotic technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement combined with three-dimensional visualization of the operative site.
