Robotic-assisted surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures that utilize robot technology and 3D imaging. Providing pinpoint robotic precision, the controls and surgical tools are guided by the skilled hands of a qualified surgeon.

With the aide of high-definition 3D imaging, the surgeon is able to perform highly complex procedures with greater accuracy. Another benefit is that robotic-assisted surgeries require much smaller incisions and significantly reduce pain, scarring, blood loss and recovery time, while improving patient outcomes.

Robotic surgery can be the most effective, least invasive surgical option for colorectal, hysterectomy, nephrectomy and prostatectomy procedures.

For patients, potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery may include:

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Less scarring
• Shorter recovery time and faster return to normal activities
• Reduced risk of infection and complications
• In many cases, better clinical outcomes
