Keeping you healthy. Making you better.
If you and your doctor have decided surgery is necessary, St. Mary Medical Center Long Beach da Vinci® Surgical System may offer you a safer, more effective alternative to traditional open surgery or laparoscopy.
Robot-assisted surgery is an even less invasive surgical alternative available for more complex conditions. In most cases, this minimally invasive surgery results in decreased pain, less need for narcotics and a lower risk of infection.
The da Vinci Surgical System® is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to expand your surgeon’s capabilities and offer a minimally invasive option for major surgery. It is used to treat complex conditions ranging from cancer to uterine prolapse to nerve-sparing prostatectomies. The majority of women’s gynecological surgeries can be performed using da Vinci, as can most urological, many gastroenterology and general surgeries, and some procedures.
Before you decide on surgery, discuss your options with your doctor to understand potential benefits and risks.
Every patient surgical experience varies, but the benefits many patients experience with minimally invasive robotic surgery include a shorter hospital stay, less pain, and less risk of infection. Learn More
