When you have surgery, you want to recover as quickly and easily as possible. At California Pacific Medical Center, specialists offer the latest in minimally invasive and robotic surgery. Whether you’re having your gallbladder or the lobe of a lung removed, highly trained surgeons use these techniques to minimize scars and reduce recovery times.
Robotic Surgery
The latest robotic technology enables specially trained surgeons to do things that once seemed impossible, such as removing kidney tumors without removing the entire kidney.
During robotic surgery, your surgeon’s finger movements at a computerized workstation guide the robotic tools, improving precision and access to the surgical area. Special teams of da Vinci® Robotic Surgery System surgeons are trained in procedures including:
- Bladder Removal or Repair
- Colorectal Cancer Surgery
- Hysterectomy
- Kidney Surgery
- Prostate Cancer Surgery
- Uterine Fibroids, Obstruction or Prolapse
Laparoscopic Surgery
Surgeons at CPMC offer the latest in laparoscopic surgery, which uses small cuts, a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope or videoscope, and specially designed surgical tools. This method lets your doctor see and work inside the surgical site. It also reduces scars and blood loss.
We offer laparoscopy for many procedures, including:
- Colorectal Cancer Surgery
- Gallbladder Surgery
- In Vitro Fertilization
- Hysterectomy
- Lung, Liver and Kidney Cancer Surgery
- Prostate Surgery
- Adrenal or Parathyroid Gland Surgery
Laser Therapy
In areas that require pinpoint precision, your surgeon may use laser therapy, which replaces the scalpel with an intense, focused light beam to vaporize tissue, lessen bleeding and reduce infection risk. We use lasers to treat many conditions, including:
- Angina
- Brain, Breast, Cervical, and Head and Neck Cancer
- Enlarged Prostate
- Nearsightedness, Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration
- Skin Cancer, Wrinkles and Moles
- Sleep Apnea
Please consult our pre-registration guide and CPMC Surgery Centers for information you can use before, during and after your procedure.
