Mercy Hospital Janesville is one of only five hospitals in the nation—and the only hospital in Wisconsin and the Midwest—to have the da Vinci® Si HD™ dual-console robotic surgical system.
This innovative technology enhances a surgeon’s ability to perform a procedure minimally invasively, thereby enabling patients to recover more quickly and experience fewer complications.
Two consoles allow two surgeons to simultaneously collaborate during surgery. The dual consoles ensure that two surgeons—meaning two sets of eyes, hands and skills—are involved in the surgery. Da Vinci also offers greater precision than the human hand can allow and its high-definition cameras see more than the human eye, offering improved clarity and detail of tissue and anatomy, critical factors when performing delicate procedures.
The da Vinci Si offers countless benefits to patients:
- Requires just a few tiny incisions for minimal scarring
- Faster post-surgery recovery (days versus weeks)
- Significantly less pain and less blood loss
- Less risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster return to normal activities
- Overall increased satisfaction
Mercy Health System is proud to have the first team in Wisconsin and the Midwest to operate with the new da Vinci Si HD dual-console system. Coupled with our outstanding surgeons and staff at Mercy Hospital Janesville, we now offer a new level of surgical options, close to home.
