Leaders in Robotic Assisted Surgery 

Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is the largest, most experienced robotic surgery program on the Seacoast. We use the most innovative and precise robotic surgical system available, the Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci Xi Surgical System, the first and only laparoscopic surgery robot approved by the FDA.

Our surgeons use our three daVinci®’ robotic platforms to do state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgical procedures. Robotic assisted surgeries at Wentworth-Douglass include:

• Urology
• Gynecologic
• General/abdominal surgeries including:
  - Gallbladder
  - Intra-abdominal
  - Adhesive disease
• Hernia treatment
• Bariatric weight loss surgeries (roux-en-y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy)

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

Greater control, clearest view

• The da Vinci® System robot gives our surgeons greater control and clarity during surgery. 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.
• Integrated table motion allows patients to be moved and rotated into an optimal position during surgery.

Smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery

Use of the da Vinci® System enables our surgeons to perform precise procedures with less pain and scarring, shorter hospitalization, and faster recovery. 

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