Our Approach to Robotic Surgery at Virtua
From minimally invasive joint replacements to removing hard-to-reach tumors, our team of experienced surgeons can deliver a sophisticated level of care. Here's what you can expect by connecting with our team.
- Surgery, on your terms: When it comes to surgery, you’ll be presented with the surgical treatment options that are best suited for you and your condition. And robotic-assisted surgery could be part of that journey. At Virtua, we'll talk through every aspect of the procedure and show how it compares to a traditional surgery. We'll also answer any questions and determine the best treatment plan that works for your goals and lifestyle.
- Always in control: It's important to know that the robot is not performing your surgery. Instead, think of it as a tool that allows our surgeons more control and precision while performing movements. During your procedure, the surgeon will sit nearby and maneuver every element. Your surgeon will also see a magnified, three-dimensional HD view of the surgical area, allowing them to perform special delicate procedures.
- Seasoned experts: When you need surgery, you want experience. To utilize this sophisticated equipment, we require all robotic surgeons to undergo robust, specialized training and certifications. Plus, all of our surgeons must perform a minimum of 20 robotic surgeries each year to stay up-to-date on the latest technology and advancements.
Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery

- Faster recovery times
- Less scarring and pain
- Minimal complications post-surgery
