Advanced Robotic Surgery at UH Elyria Medical Center

State-of-the-Art Robotic Technology

UH Elyria Medical Center utilizes cutting-edge robotics to assist with various surgeries in Lorain County. The da Vinci Surgical System provides a human touch with a helping hand, offering increased precision, control, flexibility and 3D visualization. This advanced technology allows for more minimally invasive options for patients.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, performed through several tiny incisions. Compared to other minimally invasive techniques, the robotic system offers surgeons greater precision and range of motion, as well as a superior view of the surgical area. This combination of control and access ensures patients receive the best possible care with less pain and a quicker recovery.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery or Why Choose Robotic Surgery

In comparison to open surgery, robotic surgery offers all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, including:

• Smaller incisions
• Less scarring
• Less pain
• Faster recovery
• Lower risk of infection

Robotic surgery makes minimally invasive procedures possible for more patients. Previously, patients needing complex procedures had only one option: open surgery. Thanks to the flexibility and access provided by robotic surgery, many of these patients can now have minimally invasive procedures instead.
