Surgery
Types of surgery we perform
Our world-class surgeons perform traditional open surgeries as well as leading-edge, minimally invasive surgery techniques to treat a variety of diseases and conditions. Our care team also includes highly trained registered nurses and medical technicians.
If you or someone you love needs surgery, you may be a candidate for da Vinci robot-assisted surgery. During these procedures, your surgeon maintains complete control of the surgical instruments. Benefits of this surgical system include:
- Greater precision and range of motion for the surgeon, and enhanced visualization of the surgery site
- Smaller incisions compared to traditional surgery
- Shorter recovery time, less pain, smaller scars and a quicker return to regular activities
