Meet Dr. Charles Wilson

Charles Wilson, MD, FACS, is a general surgeon and the physician champion of the da Vinci surgical system at Adventist Health St. Helena. “A person recovering from surgery performed with the da Vinci robot can return to normal activity earlier than someone recovering from open surgery and we don’t tend to need to prescribe narcotics for postoperative pain,” Dr. Wilson says. “It’s all about the patient’s experience, and with the da Vinci robot, people have better long-term outcomes.”

Technology Spotlight

Minimally invasive robotic procedures

The da Vinci Xi Surgical System brings the most advanced robotic technology to patients and physicians in our region, providing an alternative to both open surgery and conventional laparoscopy. This system enables our surgeons to perform even the most complex procedures through small incisions with unmatched precision. The result is less scarring and risk of infection plus a faster, more comfortable recovery.
