Eskenazi Health Surgery utilizes robot technology in a variety of surgical procedures. Use of this cutting-edge technology provides alternatives to traditional surgery and delivers precision in minimally invasive procedures.
Surgeries utilizing robotic technologies are performed at the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital. The surgery area is located on the third floor and has a total of 17 operating room suites.
da Vinci Surgical System
The da Vinci Surgical System is used to offer a more precise and less invasive way to perform surgeries that would otherwise have to be done laparoscopically (open). It offers the surgeon a 4D view of the patient’s anatomy, which allows surgeons to easily teach residents or staff in the operating room. The ports are smaller than other ports used for laparoscopic surgery, and they are less traumatic to the skin. This allows a shorter surgical time and a faster recovery.
