Robotic-Assisted Hernia Repair Surgery
The Minnesota Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery at Riverwood Healthcare Center in Aitkin performs minimally invasive, robotic-assisted hernia surgery using the da Vinci® surgery system. Robotic surgery is a newer technique for repairing hernias that offers surgeons greater precision with three-dimensional images of the inside of the abdomen. Benefits for patients include smaller scars, less pain and a faster recovery.
