Highlights:
- Treating diverticulitis, colon and rectal cancer with a minimally invasive approach and excellent outcomes
- Avoid or completely hide extraction incisions in bikini lines
- Intracorporeal Anastomosis
- Extremely low rate of ostomy/colostomy needed.
- Advanced Early Recovery After Surgery protocol
The Robotic Advantage:
Natural orifice extraction of specimen
In appropriate Colon and Rectal specimens can be extracted through the rectum (A natural orifice) saving the patient a 5-10 cm incision previously required with laparoscopic surgery, and nearly all robotic surgeries in the United States.
This is facilitated by Dr. Johnson’s ability to sew the bowel connection robotically.
If an extraction incision is required, Dr. Johnson typically places this incision in the underwear line. This location hides this larger incision, when required, and places it in a location much less prone to developing a hernia in the incision
Laparoscopic hernia repairs typically do not close the hernia defect, but rather span the defect with a mesh, which is sub-optimal.
