Sentara is on the forefront of new technologies to make surgery less invasive, safer and more effective. Learn more about some of our advanced surgery options:
Robotic surgery enables our surgeons to perform surgery through tiny incisions, providing a safe and less-invasive alternative to open surgery, which requires larger incisions. Smaller incision means faster healing time, so you can get back to your life more quickly. Using the da Vinci robotic surgery system, surgeons operate with greater visualization, magnification and dexterity. Patient benefits include faster recovery time, less pain, less scarring and less risk of infection.
