Technology has changed our lives in various ways and it’s important that we utilize these technological advances. One area that technology has greatly improved is the medical field. There are all types of procedures that have been improved through technology and new advances. One thing that has improved is hernia surgery. Hernia surgery can now be done robotically and there are many benefits that come with robotic hernia surgery. Our surgeons at Suburban Surgical Associates/Suburban Metabolic Institute in Berwyn and Elmhurst, IL, and serving LaGrange, IL, can explain what robotic hernia surgery is and what the advantages of using this technology may be.
The Benefits of Robotic Hernia Surgery
If you’re dealing with a hernia, it needs to be corrected. A hernia cannot heal on its own and surgery is necessary. It can be scary to think about getting hernia surgery, but robotic hernia surgery from our surgeons in Berwyn and Elmhurst, IL, and serving LaGrange, IL, can make the process much easier. With robotic hernia surgery, the process is less invasive. Only several small incisions are needed instead of a large incision in the abdomen.
Robotic technology gives your surgeon better dexterity and range of motion while performing the procedure. Since there are only small incisions made, recovery time is much faster. You don’t have to worry about a large wound healing and the post-surgical pain is much more minimal than traditional surgery. There is a chance you can heal within one to two weeks and you will likely need fewer prescription painkillers.
