The systems include theda Vinci Surgical System, which addresses a broad array of general, urological, gynecological and other conditions;Mako Robotic-Assisted Systemfor total knee or hip replacements; andGlobus ExcelsiusGPSfor spine surgeries. With these tools in hand, our surgeons perform traditional open surgery, conventional laparoscopy, and robotic and minimally invasive surgeries.

Unmatched precision and small incisions are a significant benefit of robotic and minimally invasive surgery and enable our surgeons to perform even the most complex, delicate procedures. Additional benefits include:
