Robotic Surgery

The DaVinci Robotic Surgical System helps enable your surgeon to perform minimally invasive surgery with an advanced set of instruments and a 3D high-definition view of the surgical area. The DaVinci system translates your surgeon's hand movements at the console in real time, bending and rotating the instruments while performing the procedure. The tiny wristed instruments move like a human hand, but with a greater range of motion. The instrument size makes it possible for surgeons to operate through one or a few small incisions.

Pre-Operative, Intra-Operative, and Post-Operative care are provided by our highly qualified Surgical team and Anesthesia team. The Surgical and Anesthesia teams take pride in providing outstanding care to the patients of our community.
