Patients at MedStar Franklin Square often have the choice between two minimally invasive surgery techniques: laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery. Only you and your MedStar doctor can decide which surgery is right for you.
Methods: Based on comparative systematic reviews and meta-analyses, this paper examines whether the robotic technique when used for abdominal and visceral surgery procedures confers advantages on the patient compared with the standard laparoscopic technique.
Laparoscopic and robotic surgery are both minimally invasive and very commonly used by surgeons for procedures of the abdomen and pelvis. These two types of surgeries differ from traditional open surgery because they require small incisions and use a camera that magnifies the view of the procedure.
What’s the difference between a da Vinci surgery and an open surgery? Use of the system makes your surgery “minimally invasive” (smaller incisions). The procedure uses small cuts (less than or equal to 1 centimeter long), tiny surgical instruments, fewer stitches and a laparoscope (a telescope) which is a thin tube with a light and a ...
As our aim was to gain an overview of the clinical effectiveness evidence for the use of RAS, we included published systematic reviews (SRs) of robotic surgery in any surgical field compared with laparoscopic or open surgery and included any outcome measure.
In studies of gynecological robotic surgeries, duration ranged as high as 265 minutes, compared with maximums of 226 minutes for laparoscopy and 187 for open procedures. In both urologic and...

The da Vinci® Surgical System is a medical treatment option that uses a robotic surgery system to create a minimally invasive alternative for laparoscopy and some open surgeries.
The most widespread surgical robot, the Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci system, which has been discussed in over 4,000 peer-reviewed publications, was cleared by the United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for multiple categories of operations, and was used in 80% of radical prostatectomies performed in the USA in 2008, just 9 years afte...
