ROBOTIC SURGERY
Using Advanced Technologies for Minimally Invasive Surgeries
FVSA has always been dedicated to staying on top of the latest surgical/care technologies and integrating the most state-of-the-art tactics into our practice. This includes robotic surgery. For many minimally invasive procedures, our team is able to operate with robotically assisted surgical (RAS) devices. With them, mechanical arms are used to assist during an open surgery for incredible precision and control. These high-tech arms have small surgical instruments attached to the ends with a high-definition, 3-D camera to magnify the surgical site in high-definition.
