Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery offers a minimally invasive option with advanced precision. It can help you return to normal activity with less pain, less scarring, and a shorter recovery time than traditional open surgery.

For general surgery procedures, Kettering Health uses the da Vinci Surgical System, which features a magnified 3D high-definition view and instruments that bend and rotate beyond the range of the human wrist. Kettering Health surgeons use the da Vinci System for procedures that include:

• Colon resection
• Gallbladder removal
• Hernia repair

We also offer laparoscopic surgery. Whether a robotic-assisted or laparoscopic approach is right for you depends on your specific procedure.
