Robotic-Assisted Lung Surgery in Fort Smith
When surgery is needed for a condition affecting your chest, lungs or esophagus, robotic-assisted surgery may be an option to consider. If your doctor recommends surgery and you're eligible, the trained team at Mercy Hospital Fort Smith will perform surgery with the assistance of robotic technology.
This means that instead of making one large incision through your chest wall, your surgeon will make a few small incisions between your ribs. Robotic-assisted surgery of the chest cavity offers potential benefits over traditional surgical approaches, including:
- Fewer complications
- Less pain
- Less scar tissue
- Reduced blood loss and need for transfusions
- Reduced muscle and tissue damage
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker recovery time
- Faster return to normal activities
