Women in greater McHenry County benefit from state-of-the-art robot-assisted hysterectomies available at Centegra Hospital-McHenry. During this advanced procedure, surgeons use the highly acclaimed da Vinci Surgical System to take minimally invasive surgery to the next level.The robot gives a surgeon improved range of motion and allows for more precise movements. The procedure is performed through small incisions that allow the surgeon to use a camera to view a 3D image of the inside of the body. The surgeon manipulates miniature instruments attached to the robot’s arms.Patients experience easier recoveries, less pain after surgery and a shorter hospital stay. These benefits help women return to their normal activities faster than traditional surgeries.For more information about laparoscopic hysterectomy or to make an appointment with a Centegra Physician Care surgeon, call 815-338-6600.
