The da Vinci surgical system provides us with state of the art robotic platform. The system enables us to perform the next complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

The patient benefits may include:

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Less scarring
• Shorter recovery time
• A faster return to normal daily activities

There are several advantages to using this device in surgery when compared to a standard laparoscopic approach:

• The image is high definition and three-dimensional
• The surgical instruments used by the da Vinci system are capable of more complex maneuvers than are possible with standard laparoscopic instruments
• The tremors in the surgeon’s hands are not transmitted to the instruments inside the patient’s abdomen
• Office procedures for heavy uterine bleeding

To learn more about any of these procedures, please ask the doctor. To make an appointment to see Dr. Dafashy or Dr. Gillman, please call 281-991-7603.
