Robot-Assisted Surgery
How NYM surgeons use robotic surgery to provide a better patient experience
The da Vinci robotic surgery system is the most advanced surgical system platform in the world today. Equipped with this system, New York Methodist surgeons perform a wide range of robot-assisted procedures with great precision. The "hands" of the system are pivoted by robotic "wrists" that provide a range of motion surpassing even the capabilities of the human wrist.
Offering robotic surgery to our patients reflects NYM's commitment to continually bringing patients the safest and most advanced
technology. It also puts NYM in an elite class of hospitals, as we are
one of only 1,500 hospitals in the world that have acquired and
successfully integrated a robotic system.
Some benefits experienced by patients who have undergone robot-assisted surgery include:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Quicker return to normal daily activities
