Robotic-Assisted Surgery
WVU Healthcare leads the region in minimally invasive robotic surgery.
The da Vinci® robotic arms, guided remotely by the surgeon's hands, allow major surgery through tiny incisions with pinpoint accuracy. Our surgeons can perform surgery with minimal trauma because there is no large, open incision. Other benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
-
reduced pain and blood loss
-
shorter recovery time
-
shorter hospital stays
-
reduced scarring
-
reduced risk of infection
-
faster return to daily activities
