Leaders in Robotic Assisted Surgery 

The first hospital in northern New England to do robot-assisted surgeries, we continue to be the largest, most experienced robotic surgery program on the Seacoast. Wentworth-Douglass Hospital surgeons use the most innovative and most precise robotic surgical system - Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci Xi Surgical System.

The first and only laparoscopic surgery robot approved by the FDA for urologic surgery, general and gynecologic surgery, the da Vinci® System allows our surgeons to perform an array of more precise procedures with less pain and scarring, short hospitalization, and a faster recovery.

Robotic assisted surgeries at Wentworth-Douglass include:

• Urology
• Gynecologic
• ​​​​​​​General/abdominal surgeries including:
  - Gallbladder
  - Intra-abdominal
  - Adhesive disease
• Hernia treatment
• Bariatric weight loss surgery

With two da Vinci surgical robots, Wentworth-Douglass is the largest, most experienced robotic surgical program on the Seacoast. Our highly-experienced, multi-discipline team of surgeons do more state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgical procedures using daVinci®’s sophisticated robotic platform than any other area hospital.

The recent addition of the new da Vinci Xi robot gives our surgeons even greater control and clarity. Its wristed instrumentation rotates far beyond a surgeon’s natural range of motion and eliminates tremors. The highly-magnified HD camera provides a crystal-clear 3d view of the surgical site. Plus, integrated table motion allows patients to be moved and rotated into an optimal position during surgery.

Sixteen Wentworth-Douglass surgeons are trained to perform robotic assisted surgery, including some of the most experienced robotic surgeons in the country.

Wentworth-Douglass’s bariatric surgeons use the new da Vinci Xi robot to perform both Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy.
