Technology

We offer minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic assisted surgery at Willis Knighton Health hospitals, including access to the advanced da Vinci Surgical System®. While not every surgery can be performed using this technology, it does have advantages for the patient and the surgeon.

With the da Vinci Surgical System®, we operate through just a few small incisions. This technology features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand. This offers the surgeon better vision, precision and control.

Advantages of robotic surgery:

• Minimally invasive/fewer incisions
• Shorter hospital stay
• Greater precision
• Video monitoring during surgery
