Dr. Cheryl Olson narrates a single incision robotic cholecystectomy, which is the removal of a gall bladder through one incision at the umbilicus, also known as the navel or belly button.
The da Vinci® surgical system enables surgeons to perform operations through a few small incisions and features several key features, including a magnified vision system that gives Dr. Olson a 3D HD view inside the patient's body; an ergonomically designed console where Dr. Olson sits while operating, and wristed instruments that bend and rotate with improved mobility over the human hand.
You are invited to contact Surgical Associates of La Jolla if you are experiencing any symptoms that might be caused by gallstones.
