华体会 Robotic Thoracic Surgery Program
华体会 thoracic surgeons are leading experts in robot-assisted thoracic (chest) surgery, an innovation in minimally invasive surgery. Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery is often less risky and offers faster recovery.
What is Robot-Assisted Surgery?
The da鈥疺inci® Surgical System helps surgeons perform minimally invasive surgery. This type of surgery uses smaller surgical cuts. It typically has a faster recovery and fewer risks than traditional surgery.
For robot-assisted surgery, a surgeon uses a camera to see a 3D high-definition view inside your chest. The surgeon controls the device’s tools with a console and uses them to perform the surgery. This helps surgeons be more precise and gives them a greater range of motion.
Our teams use robot-assisted surgery to treat diseases such as:
