Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive technique in which the surgeon is stationed at a console in the operating room and remotely manipulates surgical instruments attached to robotic arms that are inserted through small incisions, to perform the surgery. A powerful camera provides magnified, 3D images to provide clear details of the surgical site. Robotic technology gives our surgeons at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg enhanced visualization, precision and range of motion, allowing them to perform complex surgical procedures through small incisions. Patients benefit by having:

• Less pain and scarring
• Lower risk of infection
• Shorter hospital stays
• Quicker recovery
