The da Vinci® Surgical System
Thanks to the latest evolution in surgical and robotics technologies, the da Vinci® Surgical System offers an effective alternative to traditional open surgery and laparoscopy that allows physicians at Methodist Health System to provide you the best of both approaches.
Robotic-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System allows surgeons to operate using only 1 – 2 centimeter incisions, but with greater precision and control than ever before, minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
For most patients, robotic-assisted surgery has numerous potential benefits over traditional surgery, including:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to normal activities
