Minimally invasive surgery
Robot-assisted surgery centers in Florida
When you need surgery, it's very normal to feel a little overwhelmed and to have lots of questions and concerns.
To help alleviate some of these feelings, we offer minimally invasive surgical tools and techniques. These are specifically designed to enable you to get better faster while offering other benefits, too, like smaller incisions and sparing more healthy tissue. Minimally invasive procedures include laparoscopy, endoscopy, arthroscopy and catheterization techniques as well as robot-assisted surgery. HCA Florida Healthcare’s network of hospitals and surgical centers across the state offer you these approaches for many simple and complex procedures to ensure you get the high-quality care you deserve.

What to expect during and after robotic surgery
One of the things people worry about with robot-assisted surgery is who is in control. The answer is that your surgeon is always 100 percent in control of the surgical tools and process. In other words, there are no literal "robots" involved, just surgeon-controlled robotic equipment.
Most of the time, your surgeon will sit at a console nearby and drive the procedure from start to finish. That will not change even though the specific equipment used in your surgery may vary depending on the procedure you're having.
The robotic surgery process is similar to the process of a traditional surgery. For example, you will most likely be under anesthesia throughout the operation and can expect to be in a recovery room afterward. However, one of the main differences between traditional and robotic surgery is that robotic surgery requires very small incisions, which provides multiple benefits for you.
