Actual surgical procedure question

That's cool! My surgeon does everything start to finish, but i will have five incisions, not one big open one

MamaTo3inNH,

It is cool. Even if a site has them, every surgeon doesn't use them. Most everyone getting these laparoscopic surgeries will have the 5 incisions in a circle. So glad not to that big one!

Omg! I just saw this ad... No thanks, I'll stick to human hands

My surgeon did my surgery with the Davinci robot. It isn't what you think - they don't turn a robot loose to operate on you - the surgeon still guides it by hand every step of the way, but he explained that it enables him to do more intricate things like actually doing tiny stitches internally instead of just staples.

Right, I've been looking a lot at it lately seems like a real surgical resource to surgeons allowing to do the micro stuff with a higher degree of accuracy overall on certain parts. Seems neat to me

The davinci robotic surgery is done by the doctor but is more accurate than his or her human hands. It's less invasive, less bleeding and quicker healing time. You can google it.

No thanks... All human hands, all the time
