Robotic-assisted surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures that utilize and combine robot technology and 3D imaging. The controls and surgical tools are guided by the skilled hands of a qualified surgeon, and provide pinpoint robotic precision. With the aide of high-definition 3D imaging, the surgeon is able to perform highly complex procedures with greater accuracy. Robotic-assisted surgeries require much smaller incisions and significantly reduce pain, scarring, blood loss, and recovery time, while improving patient outcomes

The da Vinci® Surgical System is a robotic-assisted surgical platform designed to provide improved access and significant precision enabling surgeons to perform a wide variety of complex procedures. These include urologic, general, gynecologic and thoracic procedures. Patients often report less pain, faster recoveries and are able to get back to their daily routines more quickly than with traditional surgical techniques.

MAKOplasty® Surgery with the RIO® Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System allows patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee, a less invasive surgery and more rapid recovery than total knee replacement. Requiring only a four to six inch incision over the knee, the diseased portion can be resurfaced while saving as much of the patient’s healthy bone and surrounding tissue as possible. MAKOplasty® patients frequently report less pain, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to their daily lives.
