Burlington, Wis. -- Today's advanced technology significantly lessens recovery times for many procedures, such as hysterectomy. Aurora Memorial Hospital of Burlington now offers robotic minimally invasive surgery for hysterectomy that allows people to get back to their busy lives quicker.

For eligible patients, the state-of-the-art da Vinci® Surgical System offers numerous benefits over traditional open surgery, including:

• Shorter hospital stay
