Robotic Surgery
The surgeons at ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda can perform robotic surgery - a minimally invasive approach to surgery. The robotic-arm surgical system provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of an advanced robotic platform. The robotic-arm surgical system enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with enhanced precision.
For patients, robotic surgery may offer:
-
Smaller incisions for faster healing and little to no scarring
-
Shortened hospital stay or even outpatient surgery
-
Minimal blood loss to reduce the chance a blood transfusion will be needed during surgery
-
Less post-surgical pain to minimize the length of time or need for pain medication
-
Enhanced implant alignment and positioning to improve surgical outcomes and lifespan of hip and partial knee resurfacing implants
- Faster healing time to help you get be back to your normal routine faster
