                      Robotic Surgery

                      Robotic Surgery


                      Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive approach that can be the most-effective, least-invasive option for certain procedures. It is offered at Dupont, Lutheran Kosciusko, Lutheran and Lutheran Downtown hospitals.

                      Robotic surgery requires a few small incisions, rather than one larger one. Surgeons use special instruments that bend and rotate even further than the human hand. A tiny camera and a 3D high-definition vision system help guide surgeons and provide a magnified view. Together, these features result in enhanced vision, precision and control.

                      Here are just two examples of the difference between open surgery and robotic surgery incisions:

                      hysterectomy robotic incisions prostatectomy robotic incisions

                      Potential Benefits of Robotic Surgery
                      Because robotic surgery is less invasive, potential benefits include:

                      • Significantly less pain
                      • Fewer complications
                      • Less blood loss
                      • Less scarring
                      • Shorter hospital stay
                      • Faster return to normal daily activities

                      Conditions Treated through Robotic Surgery
                      Surgeons within certain specialties utilize robotic surgery to treat specific conditions. Examples include:

                      • Colorectal
                        • Colon cancer
                        • Diverticulitis
                        • Inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
                        • Rectal cancer
                      • General surgery
                        • Gallstones

                        • Cancer
                      • Head and neck
                        • Recurrent tonsil infections

                        • Tongue cancer
                      • Thoracic (chest/lung)
                        • Hole in the diaphragm
                        • Lung cancer
                        • Myasthenia gravis, a chronic neuromuscular disease
                        • Swollen lymph nodes
                        • Tumors in the chest area between the lungs
                      • Urological
                        • Prostate cancer
                        • Kidney disorder or cancer
                        • Bladder cancer
                        • Urinary blockage

                      Robotic surgery may not be appropriate for everyone or for certain procedures or conditions. Before deciding on this or any type of surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Understanding the risks and benefits of each option can help you determine the best choice for you.
