Robotic Surgery Can Equal Faster Recovery

Dr. Gregory Schenk, Medical Director of Robotic Surgery and Minimally Invasive Urology at Inova Loudoun Hospital, discusses the advantages of undergoing surgery with the use of the da Vinci robot.

He explains that most patient's are able to recover faster because there is less trauma done to the tissue, hemoglobin levels tend to be higher, and there's better oxygen delivery to the tissue which promotes faster healing. Many patients see a significant improvement in the amount of time it takes to recover.
