A Leader In Minimally Invasive Surgery
Many procedures today can be performed through incisions that are often smaller than a dime. From complex procedures such as brain or spinal surgery to gastro-intestinal procedures and hysterectomies, Florida Hospital is at the leading edge of minimally invasive surgery.
The Art of Robotic Surgery
One of the most exciting advances in medicine is robotic surgery and Florida Hospital is leading the way. Our da Vinci® system combines minimally invasive surgery using robotic technology with the surgeon’s skill to perform the surgery through a very small incision. This new procedure is being used to perform surgeries for colorectal cancer and hysterectomies.
The Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Most surgical procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques these days. The advantages of this method include smaller incisions, recovery that takes days instead of weeks, minimal scarring, less physical stress (especially on older or weaker patients), less chance of infection and new hope for patients who previously may have had inoperable conditions.
