Robotic Surgery at Freeman Health System – Willow Creek Medical Center
Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses a computer-assisted technology to aid in surgical procedures. Rather than operating on patients through large incisions, surgeons use miniaturized surgical instruments that fit through a series of small incisions to reduce scarring and recovery time.
Robotic surgery may offer several benefits to patients, such as:
- Less pain and scarring
- Lower risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker recovery
Freeman Health System was the first health system in Northwest Arkansas to utilize robotic-assisted surgery. The surgeons at Freeman Health System – Willow Creek Medical Center utilize surgical robots to treaturological and gynecological conditions.
Before you decide on surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Understanding the risks and benefits of each treatment can help you make the best decision for your individual situation.
