Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is perhaps the greatest innovation in minimally invasive surgery. It's available at ProMedica Toledo Hospital, thanks to the daVinci® Surgical System.
Precise Movement Guided by Human Hands
Imagine all the things your hands can do. You’ve used them to change a tire, to cook a meal, to play an instrument. Now imagine that you could use your knowledge and experience to guide another set of hands to do the things you know how to do. That’s the principle behind the da Vinci® Surgical System. Whether you are having uterine fibroids removed or hysterectomy surgery, your surgeon can use this robotic technology to complete the procedure with delicate movements—leaving minimal incisions and minimal scarring.
Technology at Work
During robotic surgery, a powerful scope is snaked through an incision 1-2 centimeters long. Attached through the outside of the scope is a camera that allows the surgeon a highly detailed view of the surgical site. Through three-dimensional, binocular-like lenses with 10X magnification, our surgeons are able to see details within a fraction of a millimeter. The tiny incision also reduces blood loss, which further improves visibility.
Surgeons work remotely by controlling the robotic arms and attached micro-instruments from a console a few feet from the operating table. They precisely maneuver the robotic arm, which automatically corrects any tremor and cutting to a minute tolerance.
Our experienced surgeons have trained extensively in vascular, urologic and gynecologic robotic surgery. Call 419-291-4574 to learn more or simply select one of the links below.
