The Robotic Systems Used by Dr. Carlton
DaVinci
The DaVinci surgical system is a robotic platform that enhances the capabilities of surgeons during hernia repairs. Dr. Carlton uses this system to perform precise and controlled hernia repairs through small incisions. The DaVinci system includes high-definition, 3D cameras and robotic arms that can rotate 360 degrees, providing unparalleled visibility and dexterity. This is particularly useful in navigating the abdominal cavity and precisely placing surgical mesh to reinforce the weakened area, leading to reduced trauma and quicker recovery.
MARS
The MARS (Magnetic-Assisted Robotic Surgery) system combines robotics with magnetic technology to further enhance surgical precision. Dr. Carlton utilizes MARS for various procedures, including hernia repair surgeries, to improve outcomes. This innovative system uses external magnets to control internal magnetic graspers, thus allowing the surgeon to make internal hernia repairs with surgical mesh and other tools without abdominal incisions. The MARS system ensures minimal post-operative pain and better cosmetic results.
Am I a Candidate for Robotic Hernia Repair Surgery?
You might be a candidate for robotic hernia repair surgery if you have a hernia that needs surgical intervention and prefer a minimally invasive approach. The ideal candidates are those looking for reduced pain, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes. Dr. Carlton will evaluate your specific condition, medical history, and overall health to determine if robotic surgery with DaVinci or MARS systems is the best option for you. Discuss your concerns and goals with Dr. Carlton to see if this advanced technology suits your needs.
