Robotic Surgery in Kansas City

Minimally invasive surgery with smaller incisions and a shorter hospital stay

Until recently, surgery patients had to choose between traditional "open" surgery with a large incision, or laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but cannot be used for all procedures. HCA Midwest Health offers robotic-assisted surgery as an innovative option for patients. Robot-assisted surgery provides surgeons with greater precision, control and access to hard-to-reach areas, allowing extremely complex operations to be performed through just a few small incisions.

There's no such thing as "routine" surgery. We work closely with patients, families and doctors to be sure that every question is answered and every concern addressed - including advice on how to prepare for your surgery, what to expect during your treatment and the best ways to make a fast, full recovery.

CyberKnife® Safely and painlessly treats tumors with pinpoint accuracy without making a single incision A painless, outpatient option without the risks and complications associated with conventional surgery Completed in one to five treatments, a significant advantage over conventional radiation therapy that can require up to eight weeks of daily treatments

da Vinci® Provides greater precision, control and access to hard-to-reach areas, allowing extremely complex operations to be performed through just a few small incisions Advanced level technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand An alternative to open surgery with significantly less pain and fewer side effects

Gamma Knife® Offers new hope and treatment options to people suffering from tumors, trigeminal neuralgia or vascular malformations of the brain Is a medical device that uses a computer-based technology called stereotactic radiosurgery Offers several advantages over both conventional neurosurgery and other forms of stereotactic radiosurgery, including safety, cost & effectiveness
