Robotic-assisted surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that allows the surgeons to perform procedures through several ½-inch incisions rather than a traditional “open” incision that could be 6 inches or longer. In some cases, such as with gallbladder removal and benign hysterectomy, newer single-site instrumentation allows procedures to be performed through just one small incision in the belly button—making surgery virtually scarless!

The benefits of robotic surgery include:

• Smaller incisions and less scarring
• Less pain
• Less blood loss
• More precise outcomes
• Shorter hospital stays
• Faster recovery
• Fewer post-operative complications and infections

Adena surgeons are now performing robotic-assisted surgery for these procedures:

• Hysterectomy
• Prostatectomy
• Gallbladder surgery
• Nissen (surgery for reflux)
• Hernia Surgery
• Lobectomy and Wedge Resection
• Pyeloplasty (surgery to remove blockages in the urinary system)
• Kidney removal
• Colon Resection
