Robotic Surgery

Get the most technologically-advanced robotic surgical procedures right here at Mercy Health. We use the da Vinci® Surgical System, which is a sophisticated surgical tool that provides our skilled surgeons with:

• Greater surgical precision
  
• Increased range of motion
  
• Improved dexterity
  
• Enhanced visualization
  
• Better access to the surgical area

Instead of more invasive, traditional open or laparoscopic surgery, the da Vinci® Xi Surgical System allows our surgeons to skillfully perform surgical procedures for a wide range of complex conditions through 1–2 cm incisions. Our robotic surgical system offers many benefits, including:

• Less pain and blood loss
  
• Shorter hospital stays and overall recovery time
  
• Less risk of infection or scarring
  
• Faster return to normal daily activities
  
• Better clinical outcomes (in many cases)

To maintain the highest possible levels of expertise in robotic surgical procedures, our staff of surgeons, nurses and surgical technologists are all required to take rigorous ongoing training and complete a specialized curriculum in robotic surgery.

Robotic surgery relies entirely on the expertise and healing hands of the surgeon. The robot is merely a powerful tool to help you get the best surgery possible with the fastest recovery possible.
