Gastric Sleeve
For over 16 years, the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana have been helping patients achieve excellent weight loss. Da Vinci allows surgeons to minimize the pain and risk associated with surgery while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.1
Da Vinci Robotic surgery is the latest, state-of-the-art technology which allows our surgeons to provide optimal outcomes by providing the best 3D visualization and specialized wristed instruments leading to increased precision and control.
General Surgical Procedures Performed with
the da Vinci Robot
Gallbladder
For patients suffering with gallbladder pain and attacks from gallstone disease we offer virtually scar-less robotic assisted surgery. Oftentimes the procedure can be performed with just a small, single incision that is hidden in the umbilicus (belly button). The da Vinci allows more control with a camera that provides excellent imaging and tiny specialized tools allowing for precise removal of the gallbladder.
There are numerous advantages for using the da Vinci robotic surgical system including less pain, much faster recovery, and the patient can go home the same day of surgery.
Hernias
Our surgeons use advanced robotic surgery to treat and repair hernias. (Inguinal, umbilical and hiatal). Robotic laparoscopic hernia repair requires just two to five tiny incisions that provide the surgeon the opportunity to use special surgical tools inside the body allowing for precision repair.
This type of surgery gives the patient reduced pain, faster healing time, and less time in the hospital. Patients are able to return to normal activities much quicker.
