Robotic Assisted Surgery

Our new robotic platform, the da Vinci Xi, offers minimally invasive surgical care close to home and is changing the surgical experience for both surgeons and our patients. Numerous surgeons will use the robot at Canyon Vista Medical Center to perform surgeries requiring extreme precision. 

Your surgeon is with you in the operating room, seated at the system console. This console gives your surgeon complete control of the tiny instruments he or she uses to perform your surgery, which move like a human hand but with far greater range of motion. 

Among the many benefits for our patients: 

• Smaller incisions and fewer surgical movements can mean less pain 
• Hospital stays may be shortened 
• Recovery times are potentially quicker 

• Complications from blood loss and infection may be reduced 

Among the many benefits for our surgeons: 

• 10X magnification in 3D allows a clear, close view of the surgical site
• Greater dexterity eliminates possible tremor or shaking 
• Precise, micro-movements enhance surgical maneuvers
