Hernia Repair
What is Hernia?
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through an opening in your abdomen (ventral hernia) or groin area (inguinal hernia). A hernia can only be repaired with surgery.
If your doctor decides that a surgical repair is right for you, talk to your doctor about all of your options, including minimally invasive surgery. One option your surgeon may present is robotic-assisted surgery.

What will our surgeon do?
If you decide that robotic-assisted surgery is right for you, our surgeon will use a 3D high-definition camera for a crystal-clear and magnified view of your hernia.
Our surgeon will sit at a console next to you and operate through a few small incisions using tiny instruments, including a camera. Your surgeon fully controls all instruments. Every hand movement is translated by the da Vinci®System in real-time to bend and rotate the instruments for a precise repair of your hernia.

How might you feel after surgery?
Results vary, but if you are an appropriate candidate for minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted hernia surgery may be a good option for you. In early studies*, people reported feeling less pain during recovery from robotic-assisted hernia surgery than after laparoscopic surgery. A patient survey study also suggested that most people felt little to no pain one week after robotic-assisted hernia surgery.

When might you feel better?
Everyone is different, but in a market research study*, patients reported less pain, and said they experienced less disruption in their daily activities after having robotic-assisted hernia surgery as compared to open and laparoscopic surgery.

- Most people reported less disruption to daily activities.
- 86% of patients reported they were not using pain medication 1-2 weeks later.
Hysterectomy
What is hysterectomy?
If you have a benign (non-cancerous) condition that affects your health and quality of life, your doctor may suggest surgery. Surgery to remove the uterus is called a hysterectomy. It can be done with open surgery through one large incision (cut). It can also be done with minimally invasive surgery through a few small incisions using traditional laparoscopy or da Vinci Surgery.
What will the Surgeon do?
To perform a robotic hysterectomy, our surgeon will:
During a robotic hysterectomy procedure:
- Make five small incisions in your abdomen
- Insert slender surgical instruments through those incisions
During a robotic hysterectomy procedure:
- Your surgeon will stay in the same room with you and use control devices to direct the surgical instruments that remove your uterus.
- The robotic system translates your surgeon's hand movements into precise movements at the instrument's tip.
- Your surgeon may also remove one or both ovaries and your fallopian tubes, depending on your condition.
- An assistant at the operating table repositions instruments, adds or removes surgical devices, and provides other support to your surgeon as needed.
- Members of the anesthesia team continually monitor your condition and comfort.
Oophorectomy
What is Robotic Oophorectomy procedure?
Robot-assisted bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (the surgical removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes) is increasingly being used to treat a range of serious gynecologic conditions. Because robotic surgery combines the trauma-sparing benefits of a minimally-invasive procedure with superb 3-D, high-definition visualization and highly precise, computer-guided surgical capabilities, it can offer gynecologic surgeons a number of advantages—including the ability to remove abnormal tissue with great accuracy and, in some cases, work faster.
How is the robotic oophorectomy procedure performed?
In this procedure, four standard ports are placed in the patient’s abdomen using quarter-inch incisions, and the robot’s camera and instrument arms are inserted through the ports. Next, the surgeon locates the ovaries and the blood vessels that supply the ovaries, and also identifies the ureters (the tubes that carry urine to the bladder). The surgeon then uses the robot’s instrument arms to detach the ovaries and fallopian tubes from their blood supply and from their attachment to the uterus.
Advantages of Robotic Oophorectomy procedure:
Less scarring. When salpingo-oophorectomy is performed robotically, the dime-size incisions result in significantly less scarring than with an open procedure.
Less post-operative pain. The smaller incisions used in robotic salpingo-oophorectomy also result in less post-operative pain than the large abdominal incision employed in open surgery. In addition, there may be less manipulation of the incision sites when using the da Vinci Si surgical system compared to laparoscopic surgery. This may also contribute to decreased post-operative pain—something that is the subject of an ongoing prospective investigation by our gynecologic surgeons.
Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. Most patients undergoing robotic salpingo-oophorectomy are able to resume normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks, compared to 6 to 8 weeks for open surgery.
Superior visualization of the operating site. The magnified 3-D, high-definition image provided by the da Vinci Si surgical system enables excellent visualization of the ureters, blood vessels, and ovaries during surgery.
Bariatric Sleeve
What is Robotic Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery may be suggested to patients with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) and other medical conditions related to obesity.
Bariatric surgery can be done using open surgery through a large incision (cut). It can also be done using minimally invasive surgery – through a few small incisions – with traditional laparoscopy or da Vinci Surgery (da Vinci Gastric Bypass or da Vinci Gastric Sleeve Surgery).

What is Robotic Gastric Bypass procedure?
|
Gastric bypass shrinks your stomach size and reroutes your digestive
tract. During surgery, doctors divide your stomach to create a new,
smaller stomach. The new stomach is attached to the small intestine and
bypasses the larger part of your original stomach. Your new stomach is
now much smaller — as is the amount of food it can hold.
|
What is Robotic Gastric Sleeve procedure?
|
During gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, most
of your stomach is removed. As with gastric bypass, the smaller,
sleeve-shaped stomach that remains is sealed and holds smaller amounts
of food.

Cholecystectomy
What is robotic Cholecystectomy procedure?
Prime offers patients the robotic laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, a minimally invasive robotic procedure for gallbladder removal. Unlike traditional robotic surgeries that require three to four small incisions used as access ports for the robotic arms, the new technology allows for a single incision at the belly button where instruments are placed and the diseased organ is removed. Most people who require gallbladder removal are candidates for the robotic, single-incision surgery. According to the American College of Surgeons, surgery is the recommended treatment for gallbladder pain from gallstones and nonfunctioning gallbladders.
What will the surgeon do?
During a laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, the surgeon will sit at a console viewing 3-D, high-definition images while using controls below the display to move robotic arms with attached surgical instruments. The system will translate the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of surgical instruments inside the patient. The surgery can be performed in less than one hour with a typical hospital stay of two hours.
Benefits of this Robotic procedure include:
About 1.2 million gallbladder removal surgeries are performed in the U.S. each year, including about 12,000 performed in metro Detroit. It’s estimated that 80 percent of elective gallbladder removal surgeries could be done using the single-port, robotic-assisted approach.

Important Safety Information
Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci® Surgery, up to and including death. Individual surgical results may vary. Patients should talk to their doctor to decide if da Vinci Surgery is right for them. Patients and doctors should review all available information on non-surgical and surgical options in order to make an informed decision.
