Robotic Surgery
Lakeview Hospital is now home to the da Vinci®. This advanced technology, using four robotic arms, provides surgeons with greater precision, control and access to hard-to-reach areas, allowing complex operations to be performed through just a few small incisions.
Services provided
Lakeview Hospital offers robotic surgical procedures for a wide variety of urological, gynecological, general surgical and oncology conditions, as well as for bariatric (weight loss) surgery.
Lakeview Hospital also offers the Single-Site System™ which enables a physician to reduce the traditional number of incisions from 4 down to one tiny incision through the belly button that is less than 1 inch in length.
An alternative to open surgery
With significantly less pain and fewer side effects, the da Vinci® can provide smaller incisions, reduced risk of infection, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to normal activities. And in many cases, better outcomes.
