Why do we use the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System?
Luminis Health is an early adopter of robotic surgery and we continue to advance minimally invasive techniques to improve outcomes for our patients. To be clear: A robot doesn't perform the surgery. Rather, this revolutionary method allows us to perform precise surgery by using instruments we guide through a console.
It's minimally invasive surgery, meaning our surgeons can perform procedures through tiny incisions. The miniature instruments move like the human hand, but with greater range of motion.
The advantages of the da Vinci Robotic surgical system include:
A shorter hospital stay.
Less pain.
Less blood loss.
Lower risk of infection.
Less scarring.

"Highly recommend if you’re not 110% confident about any aspect of pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenting—or if you don’t have a support group." "I loved having two hours of dedicated time for my prenatal care and to be able to share experiences and questions with other moms. It felt much more fulfilling than a quick 10-minute prenatal appointment." "I have LOVED Centering. I appreciated having all the appointments scheduled at the onset, so I don’t have to worry about waiting in a waiting room. I also love the supportive atmosphere of moving through the experience with others going through the same thing. I would recommend this to anyone!" "This group made my pregnancy journey 100x more manageable. I learned so much information that I would’ve otherwise missed out on. The women were amazing and asked questions I wouldn’t have even thought of asking. If I could do this for every pregnancy I would!" Learn more about the program, Our Locations
