If you are in need of surgery, Hunterdon Urological Associates offers minimally invasive da Vinci® system robotic surgery for certain procedures. By translating hand movements into small, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body, the da Vinci® system allows surgeons to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity, and 100% control.

da Vinci® Surgical System
The da Vinci® Surgical System is robotic surgery technology, which surgeons control from a console. Instead of a large abdominal incision used in open surgery, a surgeon using the da Vinci® Surgical System makes a few small incisions where the surgical instruments and a miniature camera are introduced into the body. A monitor on the console allows the surgeon to see highly magnified, three-dimensional images of the body as the surgeon directs the robotic arm movements to manipulate the camera and special instruments. Safety mechanisms are in place to ensure the robot only moves under the control of the surgeon.
The UroLift® System treatment is a revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to treating an enlarged prostate, or BPH, that lifts or holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue.
