- A shorter hospital stay
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- A faster recovery
- Less pain/less need for medication
- Smaller incisions for minimal scarring
See the Difference For Yourself
“A few years ago, I had a right hernia repair using open surgery. I was on my couch, in pain, for 3-4 days and out of commission for at least 3 weeks. I had restrictions like lifting for a long time. A few weeks ago, I had left hernia repair with the da Vinci system. I was in a lawn chair with friends the next day; I had some tenderness, a small incision and no restrictions. I couldn’t believe the difference. There is no comparison.”
