Robotic Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that enhances a surgeon’s precision and control. This technology allows complex procedures to be performed through small incisions, often resulting in less discomfort and a faster recovery.

At Tanner, robotic-assisted surgery combines innovative technology with the skill and experience of our surgical teams to support safe, effective outcomes.

How robotic-assisted surgery works

Robotic-assisted surgery does not mean a robot performs your procedure. Your surgeon always remains in full control, operating from a console within the surgical suite.

The robotic system includes:

Miniature, specialized instruments inserted through small incisions
A high-definition, three-dimensional camera that provides a detailed view of the surgical area
Technology that filters normal hand tremors and enhances precision and range of motion

This advanced visualization and control allow surgeons to operate with accuracy, even in delicate or hard-to-reach areas.

Benefits of robotic-assisted surgery

For many patients, robotic-assisted surgery offers several advantages:

Smaller incisions
Enhanced precision and control
Faster recovery
Fewer complications in appropriate cases
Less blood loss
Reduced injury to the surrounding tissue
Lower risk of infection
Minimal scarring
Reduced post-operative discomfort
Shorter hospital stays

Because robotic-assisted procedures are minimally invasive, many patients can return home the same day, with less downtime and a stronger recovery.

Your surgeon will determine whether robotic-assisted surgery is appropriate based on your condition and overall health. We offer a range of robotic-assisted procedures, including:

Colorectal surgery
Esophagogastric surgery
Hernia repair
Laparoscopic appendectomy
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy
Partial nephrectomy
Pyeloplasty
Prostatectomy
Removal of uterine fibroids (myomectomy)
Total vaginal hysterectomy (TVH)

Surgical Services

Multiple locations for robotic surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery is available at our surgical centers in Carrollton and Villa Rica. Both facilities are designed with patient comfort and privacy in mind and feature private pre-operative and post-operative rooms.

Each location is fully accredited by The Joint Commission, reflecting our commitment to safety and quality care. Our goal is to pair advanced technology with experienced surgical teams to support efficient procedures and smooth recovery.
