The term \u201crobotic surgery\u201d may conjure up sci-fi images of robots performing actual procedures, but in actuality, it refers to the\u00a0<\/span>high-tech equipment and software used by highly trained and experienced surgeons to enhance precision, control and flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, robots are <\/span>assisting <\/span><\/i>surgeons, not taking over for them – unlike in the movies, we are still in control!<\/span><\/p>\n

From a computer console providing an HD magnified view, the surgeon is able to guide mechanical arms featuring a camera and tiny surgical instruments that can bend and rotate more than humanly possible, thus facilitating delicate or complex procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n

The benefits of <\/span>robotic surgery<\/span><\/a> go beyond that of increased precision and control for surgeons, though. Patients also benefit from this type of procedure in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n

Robotic Surgery Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The technique is minimally invasive, which means only small incisions are necessary to perform your procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Small incisions equate to smaller, less noticeable scars. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. There is less pain and bleeding involved.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Risk of infection, and therefore complications, is reduced significantly.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Patients recover faster than they would with traditional surgery, which means a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to daily routines.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At MSA, robotic surgeries are performed using the FDA approved da Vinci Surgical System – the most widely used clinical robotic surgical system in the country and throughout Europe. So, not only are our surgeons renowned, so are our robots! Yet another benefit: Peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can find out more about <\/span>robot-assisted surgery<\/span><\/a>, the procedures it can be used to perform, and whether you can take advantage of its benefits by contacting <\/span>MSA general surgery<\/span><\/a> today. Here for you. Here for good. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
