River Falls Area Hospital is the first in western Wisconsin to offer robotic surgery with the da Vinci robotic surgery. The robotic surgery system provides surgeons greater than twice the viewing resolution and 20 percent more viewing area, resulting in smaller incisions and improved outcomes for patients including less pain and scarring and a faster recovery time. Minimally invasive surgeryRiver Falls Area Hospital offers state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgical procedures when appropriate. In these procedures, the surgeon inserts a camera through an incision and sees the images on a monitor. Special instruments for the procedure are inserted into other small incisions. The surgeon can view the procedure on a fiber optic, high-definition monitor that can magnify and enhance the view. In addition, other images, such as X-ray images, can be shown on the monitors at the same time, allowing the surgeon to see the camera and the images simultaneously. The patients benefit by usually experiencing less pain and having faster recovery times. Types of surgeries performed
