We know it's important to you to get back to your life quickly after surgery. New surgical technology means you can have an easier, faster recovery. Less postoperative pain. A shorter hospital stay. Even smaller scars.
A state-of-the-art surgical robot known as the da Vinci® SiTM Surgical System provides patients at Durham Regional Hospital all the benefits of a minimally invasive procedure.
Robotic surgery is one of the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available. With the assistance of the da Vinci® SiTM Surgical System, our surgeons can operate using only one or two centimeter incisions, while maintaining greater precision and control than ever before.
If your physician recommends surgery as part of your treatment, ask if you are a candidate for a minimally invasive approach like robotic surgery.
