da Vinci® General Surgery
While surgery is often the most effective treatment for many conditions, traditional open surgery—with large incisions—can involve significant drawbacks, such as pain, trauma, longer recovery times, and a higher risk of infection. The da Vinci® Surgical System offers an advanced alternative, allowing surgeons to operate through just a few small incisions with dramatically enhanced vision, precision, and control.
With the da Vinci® system, surgeons experience greater accuracy and improved dexterity, leading to shorter and safer operations. For patients, this translates into several benefits, including less pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays. The advanced technology of the da Vinci® system improves outcomes and minimizes the impact of surgery, enabling patients to return to their normal activities more quickly.
In addition to cardiothoracic, gynecologic, and urologic procedures, St. Joseph’s Health Hospital offers a range of general surgeries using the da Vinci® system, including but not limited to:
- Stomach Cancer Surgery (Gastrectomy)
