DAVINCI ROBOTIC SURGERY SYSTEM
THE Benefits of da Vinci®
Robotic HERNIA Surgery
This surgical robot lets Dr. Skandalakis perform your hernia surgery through a few small incisions through which tiny robotic instruments are inserted. These are controlled by the surgeon sitting at a video console, letting him see better inside your body with a laproscopic 3D HD camera, while he controls the surgical instruments by moving his own hands at the console.
The robot operates with greater precision than is possible with the human hand alone. Patient recovery is faster because small incisions heal easier than larger incisions required by older surgery methods. You’ll return to work or your normal lifestyle sooner!
Many hernia surgery patients are even able to go home the same day as their surgery.
“Dr. Skandalakis and The Hernia Specialists are excellent. The staff is courteous, professional and answered all of my questions. I had immediate relief from the pain after surgery.”
“I had been lifting weights for years so it was a surprise to find out all of a sudden that I had a hernia. Sure I didn’t like the news, but getting my life back I did enjoy! My hat is off to the Hernia Specialists, Thank you.”
“Dr. Skandalakis,thank you for getting my husband out of the house!”
