Combined Procedures

Our da Vinci Xi system allows us to offer combined robotic procedures for women who know they need both gynecological and general surgery procedures. The surgeons use the same set of incisions to perform each of their respective procedures. Once the first surgery is finished, the da Vinci robot is rest for the next procedure. Performing the combined surgeries means one anesthesia, one recovery period and one time away from work. It also equals less out-of-pocket costs for the patient.

Brookings Health’s smaller footprint gives the surgical team the nimbleness to provide combined surgery requests for qualified patients. General surgeons and gynecologists work together to determine the appropriateness of combined procedures for the patient. The surgeons also modify their schedule to accommodate the patient’s need.
