da Vinci Robotic Assisted Surgery
Thanks to the generous donors of the St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation, our surgeons are changing the experience and outcomes of surgery using minimally invasive da Vinci surgical technology. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.
The da Vinci surgical system provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. Using robotic-assisted surgery, our physicians can now perform complex and delicate surgeries using small incisions with unmatched precision.

For most patients, da Vinci minimally invasive surgery can offer numerous potential benefits over traditional surgery, including:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain and scarring
- Less risk of wound infections
- Less blood loss
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to normal activities
The da Vinci Surgical System allows physicians to perform minimally invasive procedures that before, could not have been done using traditional surgical techniques. With the use of robotic-assisted surgery our doctors can now perform complex surgery using 1-2cm incisions including:
