Changing the Experience of Surgery

A new category of surgery, made possible by the da Vinci® Surgical System, is now at Saint Agnes Hospital.  The da Vinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.  Today, complex conditions such as obesity, lung cancer, uterine prolapse and fibroids as well as early stage gynecological cancer can be treated minimally invasively with da Vinci® Surgery. This approach uses a robotic surgical system that provides your surgeon with better vision, precision and control. It requires only a few small incisions, so you can get back to your life faster.
