Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Our surgeons are trained in a wide variety of minimally invasive surgical options, including robotic-assisted surgery. This surgery is similar to laparoscopic surgery, with the use of small incisions, but the surgery is done with robotic tools that the surgeon controls. This technology is used in many areas, including:

• Gynecology
• Bariatrics
• Urology
• Thoracic
• Colorectal
• General surgeries
• Other surgical procedures

Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Using the robotic-assisted surgery in prostate procedures allows for smaller incisions, which often results in a shorter postoperative recovery period for you. Other benefits typically include:

• Less blood loss
• A shorter hospital stay
• A faster return to normal activities
• Better outcomes for sexual function and urinary control after surgery

Innovative, Advanced Robotic Prostate Surgery

At West Suburban Medical Center, our surgeons offer innovative, minimally invasive robotic prostate surgery using the da Vinci® robotic surgical system. The robotic system is designed to enable complex surgery, such as surgery involving the prostate, using a minimally invasive approach. The da Vinci system is designed to scale, filter, and seamlessly translate the surgeon’s hand movements during the procedure.
