Robotic Surgery
Surgeons at Laredo Physicians Group use a robotic surgery system, the da Vinci® Xi, as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. It has the benefits of getting patients through technically challenging operations with smaller incisions, earlier discharge from the hospital and lesser dependence on pain medicines.
The da Vinci Xi robot is used to perform several surgeries including:
- Colorectal surgeries for both colon cancer and benign problems
- Hernia operations
- Gallbladder surgeries
- Soft-tissue resections
