The daVinci Si surgical system provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The system enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions, with unmatched precision. For patients seeking treatment for prostate cancer or who are candidates for gynecologic related surgeries, bariatric surgery and other general surgeries, the benefits may include:

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Less scarring
• Shorter recovery time
• A faster return to normal daily activities 

El Camino Hospital has a specialized team fully dedicated to robotic surgery, and other hospital surgeons come to us to learn the techniques. Using 3-D, high-definition surgical technology, our surgeons guide tiny cameras and instruments through delicate procedures for gynecology, urology, bariatrics and general surgery. These minimally invasive surgeries and endoscopic procedures allow patients have less trauma, less scarring and less risk of complication.
