Robotic surgery from Northline Women's Health Center offers women throughout Michigan the latest technology for surgical care. In robotic surgery, the surgeon sits at a computer station and directs the movements of a robot with small surgical tools attached to the robot's arms. A camera attached to the end of the arm allows the surgeon to view images of your body as the surgery is taking place. After making a small incision to insert the robotic arm, the robot matches the doctor's hand movements to perform the procedure using the tiny instruments.
Advantages of Robotic Surgery
Using the robotic arm, it's easier for the surgeon to move in a more comfortable way with the surgical tools and see the area where the surgery is performed. Our surgeons can make small, precise movements using robotic surgery and complete a procedure like robotic hysterectomy through a small cut that once could be done only with open surgery. Because robotic surgery is more precise, you can experience:
- Less pain and scarring
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to normal activities
The surgeons of Northline Women's Health Center are experts in robotic surgery using the da Vinci System® that features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and tiny instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. This enables us to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control, taking surgery beyond the limits of the human hand.
