Colon, Rectal, and Small Bowel Robotic Surgery
Many colon, rectum, or small bowel conditions may require surgical intervention. An ARC general surgeon can work with you to develop a treatment plan that helps you understand the reason for a particular intervention and be by your side throughout the treatment. Surgical options to treat colon or rectal cancer, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease), and other conditions can include traditional open or minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
Minimally invasive colon surgery with the da Vinci robotic system
If your condition requires colorectal surgery colectomy, ask your doctor about minimally invasive surgery with the da Vinci robotic system. Minimally invasive techniques utilizing the da Vinci platform allow surgeons to make a few small incisions and operate with enhanced 3D vision, dexterity, and control. Smaller incisions mean a smaller wound, less pain and blood loss, and a faster recovery.
