da Vinci® Robot-Assisted
Exceptionally precise, minimally-invasive treatment for gynecologic cancer - so you can get back to doing the things you love.
At Middlesex Health, our expert gynecologic (GYN) surgeons use the da Vinci® Robot to perform more precise, more efficient, more effective cancer surgeries. This robotic surgical system, which is entirely controlled by the surgeon, has more flexibility than traditional open or laparoscopic procedures. It also provides your physician with a high-definition, 3D view of the surgical area throughout the entire procedure.
