Robotic Surgery

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Faster Recovery

Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows surgeons enhanced surgical precision. The surgeon is in control of the robotic system and is performing the actual procedure. Unlike traditional open surgery, patients benefit from robotic surgery with:

Reduced blood loss
Lower risk of infection
Smaller incisions that cause minimal scarring
Less pain during recovery
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery time

At Catholic Health, our physicians in Nassau and Suffolk counties give you access to the latest advances in robotic surgery in multiple areas of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses specialized technology to guide a surgeon who is in control of the robotic system and is performing the actual procedure.

This technology includes:

Surgical arms with tiny instruments. Allows a surgeon to perform surgery in hard-to-reach areas through small incisions with maximum range and precision.

High-definition, three-dimensional camera. Provides the surgeon with enhanced, magnified views of the surgical area.

Advanced surgical console. Gives the surgeon optimal control of the instruments and camera.

What are the benefits of robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery uses small incisions for a minimally invasive approach that significantly benefits the patient when compared with traditional open surgery, including:
