At select Tower Health locations, we can combine robotics and minimally invasive techniques, allowing your surgeon to provide the most precise and least invasive treatment option available for a wide range of conditions. Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery. 

Benefits of robotic minimally invasive surgery include:

  • Less blood loss
  • Less surgical pain
  • Less scarring
  • Reduced risk of complications, including surgical site infections
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster recovery 

Advantages of Robotic Surgery

Compared to open or other minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques, robotic surgery may offer several advantages:

  • It uses innovative robotic technology. Tiny surgical tools and a camera are attached to robotic arms. Your surgeon controls these arms from a computer.
  • It helps increase precision and control. As your surgeon moves their hand, wrist and fingers, the robotic arms perform the same subtle movements — at the same time. Robotic arms can also bend and rotate more fully than human hands.
  • It enhances your surgeon’s vision. During robotic surgery, a high-definition camera provides a close-up, 3D view of the surgical area. During other minimally invasive procedures, the surgeon has only a two-dimensional view.
