Minimally invasive robotic procedures 

Our da Vinci Xi, Ion endoluminal, and MAKOplasty® systems bring the most advanced robotic technology to our patients, providing alternatives to both traditional open surgery and conventional procedures. These systems put a surgeon’s hands at the controls of state-of-the-art robotic platforms, enabling our experts to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision. Benefits of robotic surgery include less scarring, smaller incisions, less risk of infection, and fewer complications.

Single incision laparoscopic surgery

Single-Incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) provides a less invasive option for procedures like hysterectomy or hernia repair. With just one small incision hidden in the belly button, this advanced technique helps minimize scarring, reduce discomfort, and support a faster, smoother recovery, so you can get back to feeling like yourself sooner. 

CyberKnife

The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is a noninvasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and noncancerous tumors anywhere in the body, including the head, spine, lung, prostate, liver, and pancreas. 

Neurosurgery capabilities

Our state-of-the-art neuro biplane system featuring enhanced 2D and 3D imaging, allows us to perform advanced neurovascular procedures, including brain biopsies, cranial tumor surgery, aneurysm repair, and more.
