Minimally invasive robotic surgery, also called robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many complex procedures with greater precision and control.
Our surgeons utilize the advanced da Vinci robot to perform robotically-assisted surgeries. The surgery system allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through 1-2 cm incisions, which means that minimally invasive surgical therapies are now available to patients whose only previous surgical options may have been traditional “open” procedures.
St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and St. Joseph’s Westgate Medical Center is proud to be an accredited SRC Center of Excellence in robotic surgery. Earning SRC’s robotic accreditation signifies our ability to deliver the safest and highest-quality care to our patients. Our commitment to this process has focused our team on exceeding clinical benchmarks and guidelines.
Dignity Health Arizona’s hospitals with robotic capabilities offer a wide range of procedures for many areas of the body, including but not limited to:
Robotic surgery isn't an option for everyone. Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of robotic surgery and how it compares with other techniques, such as other types of minimally invasive surgery and conventional open surgery.
Robotic surgery may not be available at all Dignity Health hospitals and medical centers in your area.
Robotic surgery involves risk, some of which may be similar to those of conventional open surgery, such as a small risk of infection and other complications.
