What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery in which your surgeon operates through a few small incisions using a robotic system — most often the da Vinci platform — controlled from a console beside the operating table. The surgeon is fully in control the entire time; the robot translates their hand movements into extremely precise motions, with a magnified 3D view and instruments that bend beyond the range of the human wrist. For many hernia, gallbladder, and other abdominal operations, that precision can mean less pain, less blood loss, smaller scars, and a quicker recovery than traditional open surgery.

Am I a candidate, and what should I expect?

You may be a candidate if:

  • You need a hernia, gallbladder, or other abdominal operation that suits a minimally invasive approach
  • You want the smaller incisions and quicker recovery robotic technique can offer
  • Your surgeon has reviewed your anatomy and confirmed you’re a good candidate

What to expect:

  • A consultation to confirm robotic surgery is the right approach for your condition
  • An operation performed through a few small incisions with the da Vinci system
  • Most cases done as same-day or short-stay procedures under general anesthesia

Recovery:

  • Less post-operative pain and smaller scars than open surgery for most patients
  • A faster return to normal activity than a comparable open operation
  • A clear after-care plan and follow-up with your surgeon

Surgical approaches

Whenever it is appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic (da Vinci) techniques for robotic surgery, which generally mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery than open surgery. Your surgeon will recommend the safest, most effective approach for your specific condition. Learn more about our robotic surgery program.

Does a robot perform my surgery?
No — your surgeon performs the entire operation. The robotic system simply translates their hand movements into more precise motions and gives a magnified 3D view. The surgeon is in control at every moment.

What are the advantages of robotic surgery?
For suitable patients, robotic surgery can mean smaller incisions, less pain and blood loss, lower infection risk, smaller scars, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

Which procedures can be done robotically?
We commonly use robotic technique for hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and a range of other abdominal operations. Your surgeon will advise whether it’s the best approach for your specific condition.

Is robotic surgery safe?
Yes. Robotic platforms like da Vinci are well-established and widely used. Our surgeons are trained and experienced in robotic technique and will only recommend it when it’s right for you.
