The daVinci Surgical System
Paradise Valley Hospital offers a comprehensive array of minimally invasive surgical options. At the pinnacle of minimally invasive surgery, we are proud to offer patients the da Vinci robotic surgical system.
The daVinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon’s hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
For the patient, benefits may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
- And in many cases, better clinical outcomes
The da Vinci robotic surgical system benefits the surgeon and patient additionally by:
- Offering advanced optics and magnification of the surgical area including surrounding nerves and tissues.
- Filtering even the slightest human hand tremors ensuring its robotic arms remain steady.
- Having instruments with pivoting wrists which offer 540 degrees of movement. This provides greater maneurvability over human hands or traditional laparoscopic instruments.
Paradise Valley Hospital robotic surgeons use the da Vinci for the following types of cases:
- General Surgery (hernia repair, colon procedures)
- Urology/Prostate Surgery
- Gynecology - Laparoscopic Total Hysterectomies
