da Vinci Robotic Surgery

Swedish Medical Center is home to the
da Vinci^® Robotics Surgical System,
which helps our patients get back to
their lives faster.

How Robotic Surgery Works

Despite its name, robotic surgery is actually performed by highly experienced, specially trained surgeons who are assisted by an integrated system of advanced computer and robotic technologies.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery Compared to Traditional or Open Surgery

Using this system, our surgeons have clearer visualization, dexterity and control, which may contribute to better patient outcomes. In addition, the minimally invasive technique offers other benefits, including:

Shorter hospital stay
Less pain
Less risk of infection
Less blood loss and transfusions during surgery
Less scarring
Quicker recovery and return to normal activities
