What makes da Vinci special?

miVIP Robotic Surgery Center – Manhattan

The advantage of robotic surgery in Manhattan

You’ve heard about robotic surgery. But have you heard about Manhattan’s outpatient robotic surgery center? At miVIP Surgery Center, our surgeons can perform a wide variety of general and specific surgical procedures using the most advanced robotic surgery system on the market. 

In fact, miVIP is the only outpatient surgery center in the United States that offers the world’s finest robotic technology: the da Vinci Si Surgical System. Da Vinci is recognized as the leader in robotic surgical systems. It gives surgeons unprecedented capabilities well beyond traditional open and other minimally invasive techniques.

What makes da Vinci special?

The da Vinci Si allows our physicians to perform the safest and most accurate robotic surgery in Manhattan:
• Magnified 3D imaging for unparalleled views
• Patented EndoWrist instruments for precise control
• Computerized console for scaled and filtered movements
• Single-port entry to minimize incisions

All this and more means surgeons can perform procedures much more quickly and efficiently. They can reach areas of the body that were previously unattainable in minimally invasive operations. They can see the surgical site better than with their own eyes. And they can avoid damaging tissue around the surgical site. 

For patients, this translates into less blood loss, lower risk of complications, reduced pain and quicker recovery. Patients in fact can go home the same day as surgery and, depending on the procedure, return to normal activity in a matter of days. 

Why go to a hospital for surgery?

For all these reasons and more, minimally invasive robotic surgery is fast becoming the “gold standard” for many types of operations. Gynecologists use it for hysterectomy, myomectomy and endometriosis surgery. Urologists often prefer it for prostate surgery. It is the technology of choice for all types of bariatric weight loss surgery, including sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-n-Y gastric bypass. Even general surgeons prefer the da Vinci for operations on the pancreas, gall bladder and other internal organs. 

Every surgeon who practices at our center is fully trained and highly experienced in robotic surgery. Our nurses and technical staff also have extensive training in the field. They have performed hundreds of procedures with outstanding results.
