Robotic surgery is available in <a href="/locations/eau-claire/services-and-treatments/surgery">Eau Claire, Wis.</a>; <a href="/locations/la-crosse/services-and-treatments/surgery">La Crosse, Wis.</a>; and <a href="/locations/mankato/services-and-treatments/surgery">Mankato, Minn.</a>, as an alternative to traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting the surgeon's hands at the controls of an advanced robotic platform. Robotic surgery helps surgeons perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with superior precision.</p> <p>Surgeons conduct robotic surgery using a robotic system, which includes a camera arm and several interactive mechanical arms with joints that work like a human's wrist. </p> <p>The surgeon uses two hand-and-finger devices from the remote console to precisely direct the mechanical arms at the operating table. He or she leads a trained surgical team during the surgery. Surgeons have more flexibility, control and maneuverability using the surgical instruments in robotic surgery than in traditional minimally invasive surgery. Using robotic surgery, surgeons can perform delicate and complex procedures that may have been difficult or impossible with other techniques.</p> <h3>Benefits of robotic surgery include:</h3> <ul> <li>Less pain</li> <li>Less blood loss</li> <li>Less scarring</li> <li>Shorter recovery time</li> <li>Faster return to normal activities</li> <li>Better clinical outcomes in many cases</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: right;"><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p> <a name="Specialty surgical services" id="anchor_1694457036429"></a> <h2>Specialty surgical services</h2> To maximize care, our providers, many fellowship-trained, may refer you to other specialists if needed.

Using a pain scale can help to communicate your level of pain.</li> <li>Remember that all pain is real, and there are many ways to control pain. Ask for medication to control pain when you need it. Don't try to "tough it out," as this can make you feel worse.</li> </ul> <h3>If you go home the day of your surgery</h3> <p>After your anesthesia wears off, you'll be moved to the day surgery area for a few hours. Family and friends may join you. When you feel alert, your nurse can help you get dressed. When ready, your care team will take you by wheelchair to meet your driver and help you into the vehicle. It's important to have a responsible adult drive you home.</p> <h3>If you are staying in the hospital after your surgery</h3> <p>Your care team will bring you to your hospital room on a bed or wheelchair. Hospital nurses will check on you often. Tell them if you have pain, don't feel well or need to use the restroom. Do not try to get out of bed alone. A nurse will help you when you first try to walk. You may not be able to drink or eat right away. Your nurse will help you order room service when you are ready to eat and drink again.</p> <h3>Your role in recovery</h3> <p>You should become active as soon as directed by your healthcare provider while giving yourself time to heal and rest when you feel tired.</p> <h4>To speed your recovery, you'll be asked to:</h4> <ul> <li>Cough and breathe deeply to prevent pneumonia.</li> <li>Do mild physical activity with the help of a team member to help your circulation and body functions return to normal.</li> <li>Manage your pain.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: right;"><a href="#top">Back to top</a><a name="Referral" id="anchor_1694460969381"></a></p> <h2>Referrals</h2> <p>A referral from your primary care provider is required for elective surgeries.</p> <p style="text-align: right;"><a href="#top">Back to top</a></p> <a name="FAQ" id="anchor_1683833983368"></a> <h2>FAQ</h2> <a name="what should i bring" id="anchor_1683834635935"></a> <h3>What should I expect during my first appointment, and what should I bring?</h3> <p>At your first Surgery appointment, you'll meet with a provider who will conduct a full history and evaluation with you. Imaging, such as an X-ray, CT scan or MRI, may be needed to support the diagnosis or determine next steps in your treatment plan.

Most initial appointments take 30&ndash;60 minutes.</p> <p>For your first appointment, bring any imaging or medical records from non-Mayo Clinic Health System facilities.
