da Vinci® Surgery for Colorectal Cancer

If you have been told you need surgery for colorectal cancer, ask your doctor if you are a candidate for a very effective minimally invasive procedure - da Vinci Surgery for Colorectal Cancer.

da Vinci® Surgery uses state-of-the-art technology to help your doctor perform a more precise operation than conventional instrumentation allows.

For most patients, da Vinci® Surgery offers numerous benefits over open surgery including:

  • Better clinical outcomes for cancer control in many cases1
  • Quicker return to bowel function1
  • Quicker return to a normal diet1
  • Significantly less pain
  • Less blood loss
  • Less risk of wound infection
  • Shorter hospital stay1
  • Shorter recovery time1

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is patient- and procedure-specific.
