Intuitive Robotic Surgery in Cheyenne, WY
At Mountain West Surgical Specialists, patients have the option of experiencing less invasive procedures with shorter recovery times and reduced risks of postoperative complications thanks to our investment in robotics technology. We have installed the da Vinci® robotic surgical system by Intuitive Surgical, Inc. Robotic-assisted surgery represents a breakthrough in minimally invasive procedures, enabling our surgeons to operate through several small incisions, or ports, about the size of a dime. The da Vinci robotic surgical system is an intuitive laparoscopic surgical robot that combines a surgeon's expertise with the latest advancements in robotics and computer-enhanced technology. The three components of the da Vinci system include:
Surgeon Console
Your surgeon operates from a console, maneuvering the instruments with precision while viewing your anatomy in high-definition 3D.
Patient Cart
The patient cart, positioned beside the bed, holds the camera and instruments that the surgeon controls from the console.
Vision Cart
The vision cart enables communication between components and supports the high-definition 3D vision system.
Benefits of Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery revolutionizes the surgical field by offering surgeons greater precision and control. This advanced technology allows patients to experience many benefits compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Smaller incisions
- Faster recovery times
- Less pain and discomfort
- Reduced risk of infection
- Less scarring
- Less blood loss
Your Surgical Experience
The da Vinci robotic surgical system provides your surgeon with advanced instruments for robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, translating the surgeon's hand movements at the console into precise actions. While the term "robotic" might be misleading, the surgeon fully controls the instruments via the console, which bend and rotate with a greater range of motion than a human hand. The system's highly magnified, 3D high-definition vision offers exceptional views of the surgical area, allowing for procedures through one or a few small incisions. Supported by comprehensive education, training, and ongoing support from Intuitive, the da Vinci system ensures you receive expert care from a network of dedicated professionals.
