The Scripps Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery Program is leading the way in surgical technology. The program offers advanced surgical approaches for prostate, urologic and gynecologic procedures, and it will soon expand to include cardiothoracic and other cancer procedures.

Our state-of-the-art da Vinci® Surgical System offers you the amazing precision of robotics, the expertise of experienced surgeons and the compassionate care that’s synonymous with Scripps. Our surgeons perform minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery that typically results in less blood loss, less risk of infection, less pain and scarring, and a quicker recovery. You’re back to the life you love much faster.

Although the Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery Program is on the forefront of medical technology, the human touch is the primary focus of patient care. A team of experts works together to provide comprehensive care that is individualized to your specific needs. We keep you and the referring physician informed and involved in every step of care – answering questions, addressing concerns and jointly making decisions about treatment.

Our expertise also sets us apart. Our surgeons are experienced, fellowship-trained cancer surgeons, and the entire surgical team is specially trained in robot-assisted surgery.
