This technology allows SCH surgeons on staff, trained in robotic surgery, to make smaller, more precise incisions, which means better outcomes for patients through reductions in trauma, blood loss, risk of infection, post-operative pain and average length of stay. It is the safest, most effective surgical treatment option available to surgical patients.
