General Info

Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Because robotic surgery is usually performed through tiny incisions in the body, the advantages include significantly less pain, decreased risk of complications, shorter hospital stays and faster returns to normal daily activities. With one of the nation's first hybrid operating rooms, multiple da Vinci® surgical systems and the expertise of our highly-trained surgeons, St. Joseph Hospital is taking robotic surgery to the next level.
