Robotic-Assisted Surgery

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your options. Fauquier Health offers minimally-invasive surgical options, including robotic surgery through the use of the latest technology like the Globus ExcelsiusGPS spine robot and the da Vinci Xi Surgical System.

Patient Benefits

Robotic surgery is paving the way for our patients’ surgical experiences. Since robotic-assisted surgery is performed by making tiny incisions and using smaller surgical movements, there are many benefits to the patient when compared to traditional surgical methods. Some of these benefits can include:

• Less pain
• Shortened hospital stays
• Quicker recovery times
• Fewer complications like blood loss and infection

As a result, patients may be able to get back to life faster without an extended recovery period. 

Surgeon Benefits

There are a variety of patient benefits, but there are also benefits to the surgeons performing the procedures. Years of traditional laparoscopic surgery generally cause some "wear" on surgeons. In contrast, preliminary data for robotic surgery suggests that robotic surgery can take less of a toll on the body of the person actually performing the surgery.
