Surgery

The advanced da Vinci Xi and da Vinci 5 robotic surgical systems are utilized across our Central California hospitals for many minimally invasive surgical procedures. 

During these procedures, a skilled surgeon sits at a nearby console and views a magnified, 3D image of the surgical area. Through the console, the surgeon’s hand movements are precisely translated into the motions of tiny instruments inserted through small incisions. 

This technology offers exceptional instrument maneuverability and a detailed 3D view, enabling the surgeon to operate with greater precision. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, patients generally benefit from shorter recovery times, less pain, minimal scarring, and a lower risk of infection. 

This leading-edge robotic technology is available for a wide range of operations — from gallbladder and kidney stone procedures to hysterectomies, prostatectomies, bariatric surgery, breast surgery, and colorectal surgery — allowing us to deliver high-quality care with faster recovery.

The Mako Robotic-Assisted System provides unmatched precision and personalization for total knee or hip replacements. The system creates a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy, allowing the surgeon to develop a highly personalized surgical plan. The robotic arm enables smaller incisions, guides the surgeon in removing the diseased joint and preserving healthy bone and tissue, then ensures that the implant is placed in the optimal position for better stability and movement. The result is shorter recovery times and a more reliable implant, so patients can return to the activities they love with more confidence.
