If you need surgery, you want to recover as quickly and easily as possible. At Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, specialists offer the latest in minimally invasive and robotic surgery. Whether you’re having your gallbladder removed or a hernia repaired, specially trained surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and reduce recovery times.
Understanding da Vinci® Robotic Surgery
Our investment in the latest robotic technology enables specially trained surgeons to do things once deemed impossible.
During robotic surgery, your surgeon’s finger movements at a computerized workstation direct the robotic surgical instruments, improving precision and access to the surgical site. Dedicated teams of da Vinci surgeons are trained in procedures including:
- Bladder removal or repair
- Colon cancer
- Hysterectomy
- Prostate cancer
- Rectal cancer
Laparoscopic Surgery
Surgeons offer the latest in laparoscopic surgery, which uses small incisions, a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope or videoscope and specially designed surgical tools. This technique provides visibility and access inside a surgical site. It also lessens scars and blood loss.
We offer laparoscopy for many procedures, including:
- Colorectal cancer surgery
- Gallbladder surgery
- Hysterectomy
- Prostate surgery
