Why do we use the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System?
Luminis Health is an early adopter of robotic surgery and we continue to advance minimally invasive techniques to improve outcomes for our patients. To be clear: A robot doesn't perform the surgery. Rather, this revolutionary method allows us to perform precise surgery by using instruments we guide through a console.
It's minimally invasive surgery, meaning our surgeons can perform procedures through tiny incisions. The miniature instruments move like the human hand, but with greater range of motion.
The advantages of the da Vinci Robotic surgical system include:
A shorter hospital stay.
Less pain.
Less blood loss.
Lower risk of infection.
Less scarring.
