The hospital's new da Vinci® Surgical System

Request an appointment to find out more!

This robotic surgery system provides patients with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy.

The system enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

Benefits for patients

"Ten years ago, patients would stay in the hospital for three or four days after prostate cancer surgery," says Paul Maroni, MD. "With the robotic device I can reliably send patients home the day after surgery and they frequently go back to work after one or two weeks."
