Da Vinci Surgical System
The da Vinci robotic surgical system is a revolutionary, minimally-invasive alternative for major operations. This groundbreaking technology improves upon conventional laparoscopic procedures that surgeons previously relied upon. By using small incisions to accommodate miniaturized instruments, and a high definition 3D camera, your surgeon is able to view a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site. While the da Vinci system is commonly referred to as a “robot”, it is important to understand that the system cannot move on its own and your surgeon has complete control of the system at all times. Your surgeon’s hand movements are translated by the computer into precise, smooth, micro-movements.
The system is a great alternative to invasive surgery for gynecological health. It can be used to treat conditions such as pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, fibroids, pelvic prolapse, hysterectomy, cancer, and more.
All surgery carries risks. Your physician at St. Clair Shores OB/GYN is available to discuss your surgical options and can help you decide which approach is best for you and your health.
