TriStar Southern Hills has added the da Vinci Surgical System to the hospital's surgical service program. The minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgical technology typically results in less pain, reduced scarring, reduced blood loss and a shorter hospital stay and recovery period.

"Robotic-assisted surgery is changing the way surgeries are performed," said William Yi, MD, a board certified general surgeon. "From the surgeon's perspective, the highly advanced system offers an enhanced field of view and greater precision, which helps to ensure a better outcome for the complex procedures that I perform."
