Although similar to laparoscopic surgery, the robotic platform takes minimally invasive surgery to the next level by creating broader anatomical access through advanced 3D HD imaging and more refined movements with greater range of motion. The robotic system enables surgeons to reach new heights in precision and accuracy. What does this all mean for the patient? It means that our surgeons are able to provide better and safer operations under circumstances that may otherwise be considered complex or challenging. In other words, no operation is too difficult for Advanced Surgical &amp; Bariatrics of NJ.<\/p>\n  \n        <div class=\"inner-schedule\">\n            <!-- left  -->\n            <div class=\"left\">\n                <button class=\"scd\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/bariatricsurgerynewjersey.com\/contact\/schedule-appointment-online\/')\">Schedule Appointment<\/button>\n            <\/div>\n            <!-- right  -->\n            <div class=\"right\">\n                <a href=\"tel:+17326405316\">(732) 640-5316<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"name\">Types of \u201cda Vinci\u201d Procedures<\/h2>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>The \u201cda Vinci\u201d surgical system has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 3 million patients worldwide.

The robotic surgery term may leave the reader with the impression that the \u201cda Vinci\u201d system is performing the surgery autonomously. This would truly be an impressive spectacle. However, the current \u201cda Vinci\u201d system cannot function on its own in any manner. It is entirely reliant upon the expertise of the surgeon. The \u201cda Vinci\u201d surgical system has not been designed to perform autonomously nor does it have any surgical decision making software. So throughout the entire process, the surgeon will remain in 100% control. The robotic platform should be viewed as an extension of the surgeon\u2019s own hands.<\/p>\n  \n        <div class=\"fullWidthIn\">\n            <div class=\"inner-five-star\">\n                                <div class=\"single-five-star\">\n                    <span class=\"star\"><span>5.0<\/span> \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605<\/span>\n                                        <span class=\"title\"> I will definitely recommend them to anyone<\/span>\n                                        <p>They are so professional and really helped me throughout my journey.

The major benefits for patients may include a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss, fewer transfusions, less scarring, a faster recovery and return to normal daily activities.** We strongly feel that these benefits make a convincing and clear-cut argument for the adoption of the \u201cda Vinci\u201d Surgical System.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><b>What is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)?<\/b><\/h3>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimally Invasive Surgery or MIS is a surgery procedure typically performed through tiny incisions or operating ports, rather than large incisions. This type of surgery typically results in less overall pain, potentially shorter recovery times and faster return to work, fewer complications, reduced hospitalization costs and overall reduced trauma to the patient.** MIS has become the standard-of-care for particular surgical procedures and the addition of robotic assisted technology enables the use of MIS techniques for complex procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><b>Will robotic surgery make a surgeon unnecessary?<\/b><\/h3>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the name \u201crobotic surgery\u201d the system is not a self-automated robot, it is a robot-assisted system that relies entirely upon the surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><b>Why is it called the da Vinci Surgical System?<\/b><\/h3>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The product is called the \u201cda Vinci\u201d after the much famed Italian Renaissance artist and mathematician.
