Surgery
Surgery is more than a procedure, it’s a moment of trust, vulnerability, and hope. At Confluence Health our surgical team honors that trust with skill, compassion, and a commitment to your safety and comfort. We perform a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive techniques to complex operations, always guided by your needs and goals. From pre-operative education to post-operative recovery, we walk with you every step of the way. Our team works closely with anesthesiologists, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists to ensure seamless, coordinated care. We also focus on pain management and emotional support to help you heal fully. You’re not just undergoing surgery, you’re reclaiming your health, your strength, and your future.
What if you could have the benefits of traditional “open” surgery or conventional laparoscopies, but with less pain and a shorter recovery time? It’s now possible—thanks to robot-assisted surgery. This medical breakthrough puts surgeons at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform that enables them to perform complex and delicate procedures with unmatched precision through very small incisions.
Robotic surgery has several distinct advantages over traditional procedures:
- Significantly less pain
- Reduced risk of infection
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Quicker recovery times
- A faster return to normal daily activities
How It Works
Officially known as the “da Vinci System,” this robot is a complex medical device designed to assist surgeons—who are always in complete control. During a robotic procedure, the surgeons sit at a console a few feet away from the operating table and place their head, hands and feet into special controls. They have full range of motion in their wrists and arms, and the movements they make with their hands are mimicked by the robotic arms and the tiny surgical instruments. Primarily the surgeons operate using a few fingers and a set of foot pedals.
Early planning is the key for a successful surgery and to meet your needs at home. We urge you to start planning today by following the information in our Preparing for Surgery booklet.
Our care team is focused on making your surgical experience as comfortable and seamless as possible.
