REDDING ROBOTIC SURGERY

Paul Vincent Beck, MD FACS

Dr. Beck is both a general and acute care surgeon. While he is able to provide a wide variety of surgical care, he takes a special interest in both simple and complex abdominal wall hernia repairs.

Hernia repairs as well as colorectal surgeries can almost always be performed using the latest Robotic Surgical technology with the da Vinci Robotic System.

WHAT IS ROBOTIC SURGERY?

Robotic surgery is a form of laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery in which a computer-controlled robot assists your surgeon during the procedure. The robot provides your surgeon with an increased level of dexterity and allows them to operate in small spaces inside your body that would otherwise require open surgery. Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic surgery results in smaller incisions, which reduce pain and scarring, lead to less time spent in the hospital and quicker recovery times.

BENEFITS OF ROBOTIC SURGERY

More precise surgery.
Significantly less pain.
Less risk of infection and blood loss.
Earlier discharge from the hospital.
Less scarring and shorter recovery.
In many cases, better clinical outcomes.

SURGEON BENEFITS

Robotic Surgery doesn’t only provide benefits to the patient. Your surgeon also greatly benefits from robotic surgery, gaining enhanced precision, flexibility, control and vision. It also allows your surgeon to perform very delicate or complex surgical procedures that may have been very difficult or even impossible without the aid of the robot.
