Benefits of da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control. Using the Intuitive da Vinci surgical system, the surgeon remains in control throughout the procedure while advanced technology translates the surgeon’s movements into precise movements of specialized surgical instruments.
At Broadlawns, the da Vinci surgical system supports our commitment to providing patients with advanced, minimally invasive surgical options.
Depending on the procedure and individual patient, potential benefits compared with traditional open surgery may include:
- Smaller incisions
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Reduced postoperative pain and discomfort
- Lower risk of certain surgical complications
- Shorter recovery time and earlier return to normal activities
Ion Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy
The Intuitive Ion Endoluminal System is a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy platform used to reach and biopsy suspicious nodules deep within the lungs, including small or difficult-to-reach nodules in the lung periphery. Using an ultrathin, highly maneuverable catheter and shape-sensing technology, the system helps physicians navigate a planned pathway through the airways with precision and stability.
At Broadlawns, Ion expands our ability to evaluate suspicious lung nodules using a minimally invasive approach and obtain tissue samples that can help guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
Potential benefits may include:
- Ability to reach small, peripheral lung nodules
- Precise, stable navigation through the airways
- Minimally invasive tissue sampling without an external incision
- Ability to biopsy more than one lung nodule during the same procedure when appropriate
- Ability to perform additional staging during the same procedure when clinically indicated
Aquablation Therapy for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Broadlawns now offers Aquablation therapy, a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. The procedure combines real-time imaging with a heat-free, high-pressure waterjet to precisely remove prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow.
Aquablation therapy expands Broadlawns’ urologic surgical options for patients whose urinary symptoms require procedural treatment. Because treatment is planned using real-time visualization of the prostate, the urologist can tailor the procedure to the individual patient’s anatomy.
Potential benefits may include:
