What Is da Vinci Robotic Surgery
Da Vinci robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery used in many areas of general surgery. It involves a specialized system that helps surgeons perform procedures with greater precision and control, especially in delicate or hard-to-reach areas.
We perform robotic general surgery using da Vinci ® Surgery system at Nacogdoches Medical Center and Nacogdoches Medical Partners. The da Vinci ® System features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and special wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. As a result, da Vinci ® enables your surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control.
How does this benefit you? Instead of a large incision, only a few small incisions are needed, offering the potential for you to experience less pain and bleeding, fewer complications and a faster recovery time.
