Laparoscopic Surgery in Atlanta

When Dr. Hawkins performs a robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery in Atlanta, she sits at a console that provides an enhanced, magnified, and high-definition view of the surgical area. The system translates her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.

We use the da Vinci Surgical System, which sits at the forefront of medical robotics. By giving Dr. Hawkins superior vision, greater accuracy, and enhanced dexterity, the system helps her perform delicate and complex surgeries with minimal impact on the rest of the body.

The robotic system allows for extreme precision. We’re able to perform laparoscopic surgery in Atlanta with smaller incisions and less impact on the surrounding organs and tissue.

Our patients receive all the same surgical benefits as traditional open surgery with less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery!

Robotic-assisted surgery often allows patients to recover quicker and with less pain and complications than traditional open and laparoscopic surgeries!

The length of your recovery depends on the specific procedure. Many patients can resume normal activities within a week, although they will need to avoid more strenuous activities for a longer period.

Robotic surgery requires only a few small scars at the surgical sites, typically between 0.5 and 1.5 centimeters long. These are just large enough to insert the necessary instruments for your procedure.

These incisions will heal and fade over time, resulting in minimal, often unnoticeable scars as compared to traditional open surgery.
