Robotic Surgery
Surgeons generally agree that the da Vinci Surgical System is among the greatest advancements in modern surgery. Available at Beaufort Memorial, the state-of-the-art surgical tool has high-definition imaging and robotic tools that move with greater range and precision than the human wrist. It’s technology that offers your surgeon unprecedented vision, precision, dexterity and control.
For many patients, the benefits of robotic surgery are even greater when compared to those of traditional surgery. Robotic surgery often means:
- A shorter hospital stay
- Less than one-inch incisions
- Lower infection risk
- Less discomfort
- Quicker recovery
- Minimal or hidden scars
