da Vinci Robotic Assisted Surgery 

Thanks to the latest evolution in surgical technology, surgeons at Providence Regional have an effective alternative to traditional open surgery with the state-of-the-art da Vinci®  Surgical System.

This technology allows surgeons to operate using very small incisions, about the size of a dime, with unmatched precision. Better yet, da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery can minimize a patient’s surgical pain, reduce complications and increase the likelihood of a quick recovery.

Surgeries performed by Providence Regional surgeons who are specially trained and credentialed in da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery include:


Gynecology

Hysterectomy
Sacrocolpopexy
Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO)
Myomectomy

  

Urology

Prostatectomy
Nephrectomy
Partial Nephrectomy
Pyeloplasty

General Surgery

Cholecystectomy
Colectomy


How da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgery Works

The surgeon sits comfortably at a console viewing a 3D image of the surgical field. The system’s controls seamlessly translate the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of instruments inside the patient.

Intuitive motion that mimics hand-to-eye coordination, high-resolution 3D vision and innovative wrist-like instruments help the da Vinci surgery look and feel like traditional “open” surgery but without the large incision and associated risks.
