Surgical Services : da Vinci® Surgical System
The da Vinci® Surgical System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.
The da Vinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
For the patient, benefits may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
- And in many cases, better clinical outcomes
St. Francis is the only hospital in Wilmington offering this advanced surgical technology.

- da Vinci® Hysterectomy
- Traditional open hysterectomy - removal of the uterus - requires a 6-12" abdominal incision and weeks of recovery. da Vinci® Hysterectomy is performed through five tiny incisions which heal in a fraction of the time. For women diagnosed with uterine fibroids, da Vinci Myomectomy represents a minimally invasive surgical treatment designed to preserve the uterus.

- da Vinci® Prostatectomy
- The da Vinci® Prostatectomy performed with the da Vinci® Surgical System represents the fastest growing treatment for prostate cancer today. In addition to the other benefits, recent studies suggest that da Vinci Prostatectomy may offer improved cancer control and a lower incidence of impotence and urinary incontinence due to the precision of the procedure.

- da Vinci® Mitral Valve Repair
- Much of the pain associated with traditional heart surgery results from cutting through the breastbone and opening the ribs. The da Vinci® System offers breakthrough capabilities that enable surgeons to operate through small incisions made between the ribs, which significantly reduces pain and recovery time.
