Robotic surgery
Robotic surgery allows your surgeon to operate using robotic arms and a 3D display of the surgical field. The surgeon uses a control below the display to move the robotic arms. The system seamlessly translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of surgical instruments. Our surgeons are able to use it in ways that offer you precision and accuracy.
Additional benefits of robotic surgery include:
- Reduced trauma to the body
- Less post-operative pain and discomfort
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and return to normal daily activities
- Less scarring
