Introducing da Vinci Robotic Minimally Invasive Surgery

The doctors at Ob-Gyne Associates of Libertyville are pleased to announce the introduction of robotic surgery to our practice. Robotic surgery affords better visualization and precision to the minimally invasive (lararoscopic) procedures that we have been doing for years. It will also allow for a minimally invasive proceure that may have previously required a large incision. This translates to a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery with return to normal activites.For more information, speak to your doctor or check out www.intuitivesurgical.com  or www.davincisurgery.com.
