Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Leading-Edge Technology in Surgery

Core Physicians’ surgeons, in collaboration with Exeter Hospital, offer robotic-assisted surgery for qualifying procedures. Robotic surgery allows for precise movements to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.

About Robotic-Assisted Surgery

The da Vinci technology at Exeter Hospital enables surgeons to operate with minimal incisions, and the tiny instruments have a greater range of motion than a human hand. The endoscope allows for 3D visualization and magnification of organs which produces an image far superior to both the human eye and traditional laparoscopes.

The robot also utilizes “Firefly” technology, a special fluorescence imaging technique to visualize bile ducts and blood vessels more accurately. This results in more precise identification of anatomy.

Our Surgical Team

Our surgeons have years of experience in advanced and laparoscopic procedures, and the da Vinci technology helps them advance the level of surgical care they provide to patients who meet the criteria for robotic-assisted surgery.

The surgical team also includes surgical first assistants and several nurses who have been specially trained in the technology of robotic surgical procedures.

Meet the Team

Our specially trained surgeons use advanced technology to provide precise, minimally invasive surgical care.
