da Vinci Surgery System
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery,
you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the
most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available: da Vinci MiniSurgery at St. Francis.
Facing any kind of urologic surgery creates a great deal of anxiety for most men. Among your concerns is: “Will my body function normally following surgery?” Traditional open urologic surgery – in which large incisions are made to access the pelvic organs – has been the standard approach when surgery is warranted. Yet common drawbacks of this procedure include significant post-surgical pain, a lengthy recovery and an unpredictable, potentially long-term impact on urological functions.
da Vinci Surgery, a minimally invasive approach that utilizes the latest in surgical and robotics technologies, is ideal for delicate urologic surgery. This includes prostatectomy, in which the target site is not only tightly confined but also surrounded by nerves affecting urinary control and sexual function.

Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has for many years been the standard approach to many gynecologic procedures. Yet with open surgery can come significant pain, trauma, a long recovery process and threat to surrounding organs and nerves.
The da Vinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional
open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls
of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to
perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions
with unmatched precision.
For the patient, benefits may include: significantly less pain, less blood loss, less scarring, shorter recovery time, a faster return to normal daily activities, and in many cases, better clinical outcomes.

da Vinci Hysterectomy
Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has for many years been the standard approach to many gynecologic procedures. Yet with open surgery can come significant pain, trauma, a long recovery process and threat to surrounding organs and nerves.
For complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery
with the da Vinci Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment
option. Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the da Vinci System can
operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and risk associated
with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent
clinical outcomes.
