Robotic Surgery
At Prisma Health, robotic-assisted surgery places us at the forefront of advances that make surgery easier and more effective. Our da Vinci® Surgical System can replace traditional, open surgery – which requires weeks of recovery and higher risks.
In fact, treating some delicate or complex conditions was nearly impossible before this method became available.
Understanding robotic-assisted surgery
The da Vinci® Surgical System is designed with high-definition 3D vision and a greatly magnified view. It allows our surgeons to see the site more clearly compared with traditional techniques. It also enhances precision, flexibility and control. The surgeon can make just a few tiny openings and repair areas of the body that are not easily accessible.
Even when used with traditional surgery, robotic-assisted surgery can improve your outcomes.
