Robotic Surgery Services
Dr. Fields has treated over 6,000 patients using the da Vinci robotic surgical system, and spends a portion of his time teaching robotic surgery to other surgeons. Dr. Fields is designated as a robotic ‘Epicenter’ surgeon, one of 20 in the nation with the distinction, denoting a center of excellence in his practice of robotic surgery to treat his patients and to teach advanced skills to other surgeons. Not only has he trained most of the gynecologists practicing robotic surgery in our region, he has also trained other surgeons and robotic surgery teams nationwide.
Why surgery with da Vinci?
- Patients may experience fewer complications compared to patients who had open surgery.
- Patients may stay in the hospital for a shorter amount of time than patients who had open, laparoscopic or vaginal surgery.
- With da Vinci, you may have a single or few small incisions compared to an open procedure. After surgery you may only have one or a few small scars.
Questions you can ask your doctor
- What medical and surgical options are available for me?
- Which is best for my situation?
- What are the differences between open, vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgery?
