Robotic-Assisted General Surgery
Less Pain, Faster Recovery
Facing surgery – whether for abdominal pain, digestive issues, or another concern – can feel overwhelming. You want answers, reassurance and a treatment plan that puts your comfort first. At Trinity Health Michigan, we’re here to guide you with compassion and expertise, offering robotic-assisted general surgery as a minimally invasive option designed to help you heal with confidence.
This advanced approach uses the da Vinci surgical system to perform procedures through just a few tiny incisions. Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic general surgery often results in less pain, faster recovery and minimal scarring – so you can get back to your life with fewer interruptions.
More Precision. Less Incision.
Traditional Surgery Incision
Robotic Surgery Incision
Traditional general surgery often requires one large incision, which can lead to more pain and longer healing. With robotic-assisted surgery, our surgeons operate through several small incisions, each typically less than an inch long. The da Vinci surgical robot provides enhanced visibility and control, allowing for precise movements that protect surrounding tissue and reduce the risk of complications.
These illustrations show how robotic surgery compares to traditional methods – highlighting the benefits of a less invasive approach that supports a smoother recovery.

About the da Vinci Surgical Robot
The da Vinci surgical system is designed to perform complex procedures through tiny incisions with enhanced control and precision. Its robotic arms mimic the movement of a human hand, while a high-definition 3D camera provides a magnified view of the surgical site. Your surgeon remains in full control throughout the procedure, guiding every movement with care and expertise.
