Patient Benefits

Using robot-assisted surgery such as the da Vinci ® Surgical System, traditional open surgery can be accomplished endoscopically, with smaller incisions. The robot has been used in tens of thousands of minimally-invasive procedures worldwide and Northside Hospital is the leader in robotic surgery for not only the Atlanta-area, but for the entire State of Georgia.

For most patients, robotic surgery performed with the da Vinci ® Surgical System can offer numerous potential benefits over open surgery, including:

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Fewer complications
• Less scarring
• A shorter hospital stay
• Faster recovery
• And a faster return to normal activities
