For years, Crozer-Keystone Health System surgeons have embraced the latest, proven techniques in minimally-invasive surgery. Techniques such as laparoscopic surgery have become routine form for many types of procedures, with substantial benefits for patients in both outcomes and recovery time.

Now, the Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery at Springfield Hospital has the world’s most advanced surgical technology – the da Vinci Surgical System. The da Vinci Surgical System incorporates the latest advances in robotics and computer technology to give surgeons exceptional control of instruments and clear three-dimensional views similar to those obtained in traditional open surgery. The instruments and 3-D cameras are inserted into the patient through small incisions, about the size of a keyhole. A special console gives the surgeon magnified 3-D views of the procedure. Precise, computer-enhanced controls manipulate the tiny surgical instruments in a natural, intuitive manner that mimics the hands of the surgeon.
