Advanced robotic surgery at Ascension Sacred Heart

General surgery

For some surgical procedures, our experienced surgeons use da Vinci® XI Surgical System. The versatile and flexible features of this surgical system promote operating room efficiency during general surgeries. This advanced technology is used for many procedures, including colectomy, hernia and rectal resection.

Gynecologic and gynecologic oncology surgery

When you need a gynecologic surgery, such as hysterectomy, myomectomy or sacrocolpopexy, you want the best care. Our highly trained and experienced surgeons specialize in the use of the da Vinci XI for gynecologic procedures. In most cases, with 3D visualization and robotic arms, we can perform surgery with greater precision than traditional surgery.

Urologic surgery

To perform prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer surgery, our highly skilled surgeons use robotic-assisted surgery. With advanced technology and innovative features, surgeries assisted by the da Vinci XI have increased precision. Other benefits may include a shorter recovery than traditional surgery.

Orthopedic surgery

For orthopedic surgeries such as knee replacement, partial knee replacement and total hip replacement, our surgeons use robotic-assisted surgery. The Mako provides your surgeon with 3D surgical planning and data to help provide better outcomes. This type of surgery may lead to less pain and shorter recovery time, so you can get back to doing what you love.

Lung surgery

Our pulmonary surgeons perform minimally invasive lung nodule biopsies using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. This robotic-assisted technology, called IonTM, helps your surgeon collect small tissue samples and helps improve the early detection of lung cancer. This technology also helps surgeons access hard-to-reach nodules in the lung. The technology can also be used to create a 3D guide for your surgeon to modify, edit, and then follow during your surgery.
