Advanced robotic surgery with the da Vinci system

Knowing you require surgery can be stressful, but at Hillcrest South, our surgeons are experienced in performing advanced robotic surgical procedures. Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows your surgeon to deliver exceptional treatments using smaller incisions and tools that allow for more precision. This results in less pain and bleeding, faster recovery times, and shorter hospital stays. That means you can get back to living your life and doing what you love.

Robot-assisted treatments we provide

The da Vinci Surgical System is the only commercially available technology that can provide the surgeon with the precision, dexterity and control of traditional open surgery, while only requiring 1-2 cm incisions. The da Vinci Surgical System consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon’s console, a patient cart with four interactive robotic arms, a high-performance vision System and patented EndoWrist instruments. 

At the da Vinci console, your surgeon operates while seated comfortably, viewing a highly magnified 3D image of the body’s interior. To operate it, the surgeon uses master controls that work like forceps. As your surgeon manipulates the controls, da Vinci responds to your surgeon’s input in real time, translating his or her hand, wrist and finger movements into precise movements of miniaturized instruments at the patient-side.

We perform a number of surgeries using this system, including:

• Colectomy
• Diagnostic laparoscopy
• General surgery
• Hernia repair
• Hysterectomy
• Pulmonary surgery
• Sacrocolpopexy
• Sacrospinous ligament suspension
• Salpingo oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes)
• Single and multiport gallbladder surgery
• Total joint replacement surgery

Please call us to learn more about the da Vinci Surgical System and how our surgeons can help you heal using minimally invasive technology.
