Robotic surgery

As one of the region’s earliest adopters of robotic technology, Sharp HealthCare has built a reputation as a leader in robotic-assisted surgery. This type of minimally invasive surgery allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced accuracy and precision, leading to fewer complications, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.

Offering the latest in surgical technology

Robotic-assisted surgery has become the norm for treating many common and complex conditions such as hernia and heart valve repairs, joint replacement, and colorectal, bariatric and gynecologic issues.

During the procedure, your surgeon controls the da Vinci robotic system, which has four robotic arms — three holding surgical instruments and the fourth featuring a high-definition, 3D camera.

The arms act an extension of your surgeon’s hands, but with greater dexterity and control, enabling better access to hard-to-reach areas through tiny incisions. The camera provides a magnified, 360-degree view, giving doctors an improved sight line that they don’t have during traditional open or laparoscopic procedures.
