    Robotic Surgery in Red Wing

    The da Vinci surgical system provides surgeons in Red Wing, Minnesota, with an alternative to traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting the surgeon's hands at the controls of an advanced robotic platform. The da Vinci system helps surgeons perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with superior precision.

    da Vinci Robot

    Surgeons conduct robotic surgery using a robotic system, which includes a camera arm and several interactive mechanical arms, with joints that work like a human's wrist.

    From the remote console, the surgeon uses two hand-and-finger devices to precisely direct the mechanical arms at the operating table. He or she leads a trained surgical team during the surgery.

    Surgeons have more flexibility, control and maneuverability using the surgical instruments in robotic surgery than in traditional minimally invasive surgery. Using robotic surgery, surgeons can perform delicate and complex procedures that may have been difficult or impossible with other techniques.

    Benefits of robotic surgery include:

    • Less pain
    • Less blood loss
    • Less scarring
    • Shorter recovery time
    • Faster return to normal activities
    • Better clinical outcomes, in many cases

    Types of da Vinci surgery available include:

    General surgery

    • Anti-reflux surgery and hiatal hernia repair
    • Cholecystectomy
    • Colectomy
    • Inguinal hernia repair
    • Ventral and umbilical hernia repair

    Urology

    • Bladder diverticulectomy
    • Pyeloplasty
    • Radical prostatectomy

    Talk with your healthcare provider to determine if you are a candidate for surgery using the da Vinci robot.
