If your doctor recommends surgery to treat diverticulitis, you may be a candidate for minimally invasive da Vinci Surgery (right, left or sigmoid colectomy). Using the most advanced technology available, the da Vinci Surgical System allows your doctor to operate through a few tiny incisions with breakthrough vision, precision, control, and improved access to the affected area.
da Vinci Surgery offers diverticulitis patients such potential benefits as:
- Low blood loss
- Quick return of bowel function
- Quick return to diet
- Shorter hospital stay
The da Vinci System is a state-of-the-art surgical platform with 3D, high-definition vision and patented surgical instruments that takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand. By overcoming the challenges of traditional open and laparoscopic surgery, da Vinci is changing the experience of surgery for people around the world.
