Minimally Invasive Surgery Center

Performing surgery on a child requires special expertise, technology and equipment. That's why our minimally invasive operating room at Wolfson is equipped with the latest technology for specialized surgery. The video-equipped, "smart" operating suite is voice-controlled by surgeons and includes tiny instrumentation for precise technique in small spaces and high-definition plasma screens for crystal-clear visualization.

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery:

• Less post-operative pain
• Less blood loss
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster recovery
• Quicker return to school and other normal activities
• Less scarring

The da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System is a robotic-assisted system used to perform a number of minimally invasive procedures.

The da Vinci® system allows surgeons three-dimensional visualization, enhanced dexterity, and better precision and control through small, "keyhole" incisions. The system allows a surgeon's hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of micro-instruments within the operative site.
