How Robotic Surgery Is Helping Patients

Surgeons at Southwest Healthcare Rancho Springs Hospital were the first in the region to use the da Vinci® Surgical System. Robotic-assisted surgery may result in less pain, scarring, trauma and blood loss than other surgical procedures so patients can potentially return to work and daily activities more quickly.

Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure. Talk with your doctor about these risks to find out if robotic surgery is right for you.
