I had abdominal laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci robot in May. Researched it first, and studies show better outcomes than regular laparoscopic surgery. My surgeon has used it daily for years—prefers it. Apparently it’s like having 4 hands and the robot can make very precise movements.
I’ve had 3 different abdominal lap surgeries ...all successful. Far preferable to plain old open surgery. Da Vinci sounds like a good deal for the precision, minimally invasive and faster recovery time. Hope I never have to use it but would definitely seek a dr with a lot of experience.
