Robotic and laparoscopic surgery
At TidalHealth, we provide advanced robotic and laparoscopic surgery designed to help you recover faster with less pain. Our team works closely with your physician to perform these minimally invasive procedures efficiently and compassionately so you can return home and resume daily activities quickly.
Robotic and laparoscopic surgeries use smaller incisions than traditional operations, often resulting in less discomfort and faster healing. We use advanced technology, including the daVinci Surgical Robot and laparoscopic tools, giving our surgeons enhanced control and visibility. This precision helps create smaller scars, reduces the risk of complications, and shortens hospital stays.
Our specialists across multiple surgical fields perform thousands of robotic and laparoscopic procedures each year. Benefits include:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain after surgery
- Faster return to normal activities
- Shorter hospital stays
- Lower risk of certain complications
Our staff is dedicated to making your experience personal and comfortable. From your first consultation through recovery, you can expect warmth, support, and guidance that put your needs first.
What are robotic and laparoscopic surgeries?
Robotic and laparoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive procedures using small incisions, often resulting in less pain and faster recovery. In robotic surgery, your surgeon controls special instruments via a console for added precision. Laparoscopic surgery uses a tiny camera and small tools to reach the treatment area.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
These procedures typically involve smaller incisions, less post-surgery pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays. Many patients return to normal activities sooner than with traditional surgery.
Will I be awake during surgery?
No. Our anesthesiologists and certified nurse anesthetists ensure you are fully comfortable and properly sedated throughout your procedure.
How should I prepare for robotic or laparoscopic surgery?
Your physician will review your surgery, discuss risks and benefits, and answer your questions. You will complete a pre-anesthesia questionnaire, review medications with a nurse, and receive instructions on eating, drinking, and medications before surgery.
What happens after my surgery?
After surgery, our team monitors your recovery closely. Most patients experience less pain, shorter recovery times, and receive detailed home care instructions before going home.
