Center for Robotic Surgery
St. Mary’s General Hospital proudly offers advanced robotic surgery with the state-of-the-art da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System, the most advanced technology available for minimally invasive surgery. This system allows our highly skilled surgeons to perform complex procedures with unmatched precision and control.
About the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System
The da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System is designed to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing minimally invasive surgery. It offers several key benefits:
-
Enhanced Precision: The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.
-
3D High-Definition Vision: Surgeons have a highly magnified, 3D view of the surgical area, providing true depth perception and crystal-clear vision.
-
Greater Flexibility: The wristed instruments can bend and rotate far beyond the capabilities of the human hand, allowing for greater dexterity.
-
Minimally Invasive: Procedures are performed through small incisions, which means less pain, reduced blood loss, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times for patients.
