Robotic surgery, also known as robotic-assisted surgery, is a type of minimally invasive surgery that allows for smaller incisions, more precision and a faster recovery. Guided by a highly trained Banner Health surgeon, robotic-assisted procedures are a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery.
Banner Health uses the da Vinci Surgical System, a leading robotic-assisted technology. With this system, your surgeon sits at a nearby console and uses hand controls to guide the robot’s four interactive arms.
The robotic arms are designed to make tiny, precise movements through small incisions—often no larger than a dime. A high-definition 3D camera gives your surgeon a clear, magnified view of the surgical site.
The robotic system does not operate on its own. It is always under the direct control of your surgeon throughout the entire procedure.
Both robotic and traditional surgery may use similar tools and techniques, but robotic-assisted procedures offer several advantages:
Robotic surgery offers many benefits compared to open surgery or even traditional laparoscopic surgery. These may include:
Many patients are able to go home the same day and return to normal life more quickly.
At Banner Health, we use robotic-assisted technology in many types of minimally invasive procedures, including:
Our experienced surgeons use advanced tools and innovative techniques to ensure safe, effective care tailored to your needs.
Not all procedures require robotic assistance, but many patients benefit from this advanced surgical option. Talk to your Banner Health surgeon to learn more about your surgical options and whether robotic-assisted surgery is a good fit for you.
