A Commitment to Compassionate Care
When medication, lifestyle changes and other non-surgical treatments cannot relieve symptoms, surgery is the accepted treatment for a broad range of conditions. Surgery can be a scary proposition for a patient, no matter how routine the procedure. If surgery is recommended, you want to learn as much as you can about your surgical options and find the surgeon and hospital that are right for you.
While surgery is generally the most effective treatment option for a range of abdominal and other conditions, traditional open surgery with a large incision has its drawbacks – pain, trauma, long recovery time and risk of infection.
Fortunately, less invasive options are available to many patients facing surgery. The most common of these is laparoscopic surgery, in which smaller incisions are used. While laparoscopy is effective for many routine procedures, it has inherent limitations when more intricate and complex surgery is required.
da Vinci Minimally Invasive Surgery is performed by the surgeons of Surgical Associates.
Thanks to the latest evolution in surgical technology now available at Decatur Morgan Hospital our team of general surgeons have an effective alternative to traditional open surgery and laparoscopy that allows them to provide patients with the best of both approaches.
With the assistance of the da Vinci™ Surgical System, surgeons can now operate using only 1-2 cm incisions, but with greater precision and control than ever before. Learn more about the da Vinci system along with patient advantages and excellent clinical outcomes.
