The benefits of robotic surgery include:

Quicker return to normal activity

Shorter hospital stay

Less blood loss

Less scarring than other traditional open surgery

Lower blood transfusion rates

Reduced surgical complications

Lower risk of infection

While robotic surgery technology doesn’t replace the skill of the surgeon, it offers the best platform for performing certain procedures in a minimally invasive fashion, and has been found to offer significant patient benefits, including shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, less pain, reduced risk of infection and faster recovery.

The technology also offers great advantages for the surgeon – the 3D camera in the robot gives the best possible view of the area inside the patient; its small, flexible arms allow the best access to restricted areas and gives the surgeon unparalleled dexterity and control. As well, the robot provides a great ergonomic working environment.
