Robotic Surgery

The da Vinci^® surgical system is an advanced surgical platform that consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon’s console, a patient cart with 4 articulate robotic arms, a high-performance vision system and patented EndoWrist^® instruments.

Your surgeon operates the system while seated at the da Vinci^® console. This enables the surgeon to perform delicate and complex operations with high accuracy and dexterity using a forceps-like master control while viewing highly magnified 3D images of the interior of your body.

The robotic arms are inserted through tiny surgical cuts and act as an extension of the surgeon’s arm, mirroring every hand movement and enabling delicate and complex operations to be done safely and accurately.

Robotic surgeries can deliver greatly improved patient benefits compared to traditional laparoscopic/minimally invasive keyhole surgery or open surgery. These may include:

• Smaller cuts, which means reduced infection risk, less blood loss and minimal post-operative scarring
• Less trauma, which may result in reduced pain, less medication and shorter recovery time
• For many women, a hysterectomy is often followed by feelings of loss and emotional distress. Robotic surgery enables quicker physical healing so that patients can focus on emotional healing

At Parkway East Hospital, you can look forward to receive treatment in a warm and comforting environment. Our friendly staff and specialists are here to see you through each step of your journey towards recovery.
