Robot-Assisted Procedures

The da Vinci Xi is currently being used to support urologists in the treatment of prostate cancer. One of the most common cancers, prostate cancer can be treated with full recovery if found in the early stages. This exciting new technology has also expanded to general surgery, gynecologic surgery, and thoracic surgery. .

Urology

The da Vinci Xi Robot is currently being used to treat the following Urologic Disorders:

• Prostate Cancer
• Bladder Cancer
• Kidney Abnormalities
• Kidney Cancer

Gynecology

The da Vinci Xi Robot is currently being used to support Gynecologic Surgeons in the treatment of:

• Sacrocolpopexy - repair of a dropped bladder, vagina, or womb
• Hysterectomy - removal of the uterus

General Surgery

The da Vinci Xi Robot is currently being used to support Surgeons in the treatment of:

• Hernia Repair

Thoracic Surgery

The da Vinci Xi Robot is currently being used to treat the following pleural space disease processes:

• Diaphragm paralysis
• Achalasia
• Mediastinal masses
• Esophageal Cancer
• Lung cancer
• Interstitial lung disease

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

• Shorter hospital stay
• Less pain
• Less risk of infection
• Less blood loss
• Less scarring
• Faster recovery
• Quicker return to activities
