da Vinci Surgery

The da Vinci surgical system allows Dr. Antonini to perform minimally-invasive surgeries with smaller, more precise hand movements.

What is da Vinci surgery?

The da Vinci surgical system is an advanced robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgical system that allows surgeons to perform minimally-invasive surgeries with smaller, more precise hand movements.

Using this robotic-assisted technology, our very own Dr. Antonini can:

  • Get a 3D, high-definition, magnified view inside the body with the help of a laparoscope (a thin tube with a tiny camera and light at the end)
  • Use wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand (270 degrees of rotation)

As a result, da Vinci enables him to operate with enhanced vision, precision, and control. The da Vinci System represents the latest in surgical and robotic technologies. He is 100% in control of the da Vinci System at all times, and the technology allows his hands to move tiny surgical instruments in smaller, precise movements.

Dr. Antonini recently completed his 1000th da Vinci case!

Which surgeries can be performed with da Vinci?

What are the benefits for patients?

As an alternative to open surgery and laparoscopy, the da Vinci Surgical System only requires a few incisions. This allows you to recover sooner and get back to your daily routine much faster.

Additional benefits include:

  • Reduced pain
  • Lower risk of infection or complications
  • Less blood loss (fewer transfusions)
  • A shorter stay at the hospital
  • Less scarring due to the smaller incisions
  • Less chance of urinary incontinence
  • Preservation of sexual function
