A robotic surgical platform called the da Vinci® Surgical System is transforming pelvic floor surgeries at UCSD Medical Center, Thornton Hospital.
The cutting-edge technology allows a surgeon to use advanced imaging and computer-enhanced robotics to perform a wide range of minimally invasive surgeries with extraordinary precision.
How The Da Vinci® System Works
The da Vinci® Surgical System is a powerful robotic platform that allows your surgeon to perform precise surgery in complex procedures through several small surgical incisions.
The surgeon controls the instruments in real time using the system's master controls. The da Vinci® System allows surgeons to simulate an open surgical environment, providing a high-resolution, 3-D stereo view from several feet away.
Da Vinci® System Advantages
The advantages for patients of robotic surgery are many, including:
- Less Post-Operative Pain & Scarring
- Lower Risk of Infection
- Faster & More Complete Recovery
- Shorter Hospital Stays
- Less Blood Loss
- Quicker Return To Normal Daily Activities
