Experience Counts
For more than 20 years, Aurora Health Care has been leading the way with
new
and advanced technologies that speed patient recoveries and offer
increased levels of
surgical precision.
On September 26, 2001, Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center was the first
hospital in Wisconsin
to adopt the da Vinci® Surgical System
and has since become one of the Midwest's most
experienced providers.
The da Vinci System offers patients an alternative to traditional open
surgery or conventional laparoscopy,
putting the surgeon's hands at the
controls of state-of-the-art robotic instruments. By way of several
tiny
incisions, surgeons are able to clearly view important anatomical structures and perform the most
complex and delicate procedures with unmatched
precision.

For patients, the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Smaller incisions and less scarring
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recoveries
- More rapid return to everyday activities
|
As a pioneer in robotic-assisted surgery, Aurora physicians are among the
most experienced in the Midwest and have successfully performed more than
1,000 procedures with the da Vinci System. Our experience is your
assurance of the best outcome.
The da Vinci System is already being used at Aurora St. Luke's to benefit
patients requiring heart surgery, hyperhidrosis surgery, achalasia surgery,
prostate surgery and gynecologic surgery. Consistently, our patients report
much less pain and more rapid return to every day activities.
