Robotic Surgery

Smaller Incisions, Faster Recovery

Imagine a heart bypass without opening the chest, a colorectal surgery without an abdominal scar. Performing prostate surgery through only four tiny incisions. How about treating throat and tongue cancers without cutting into the neck or jawbone?

Robotic surgery provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon’s hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. Our expert surgeons not only perform more of these leading-edge procedures, but they’re also sought after to train other surgeons throughout the country. Several of them were the first in Michigan to perform complex procedures with the robotic surgery system.
