Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery

North Alabama Medical Center doctors perform minimally-invasive procedures using the da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic and computer-assisted technology that allows our surgeons' hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements within the operative site. The system allows our doctors to gain access to abdominal organs that are affected with better visualization of vital structures using three-dimensional views and enhanced magnification. In addition, the ergonomics of the da Vinci System not only help with physician comfort as they operate, but also assist in aligning their eyes and hands during the procedure. All of these factors help our doctors better identify and avoid sensitive structures such as nerves, veins and arteries, while focusing solely on the surgical site.

North Alabama Medical Center’s robotic surgery platform is changing the experience of surgery for both surgeons and their patients. NAMC has featured robotic surgery since 2013, with our surgeons completing more than 4,500 cases.
