Da Vinci Single Port System at Centennial Medical Center List

Single port robotic surgery is an advanced minimally invasive technique used in urologic procedures. This approach allows surgeons to perform complex surgeries through a single small incision, reducing recovery time, postoperative pain, and scarring. With enhanced precision and control, single port robotic technology is used for procedures such as prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and reconstructive urologic surgeries, offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.

In the operating room, single port robotic surgery is performed using a specialized robotic system designed for minimally invasive procedures. The setup includes a robotic surgical console, where the surgeon controls the instruments with high precision, and a patient-side cart, which holds the robotic arms that operate through a single small incision. A high-definition 3D camera provides a magnified view inside the body, allowing for meticulous surgical precision. The OR team, including anesthesiologists, nurses, and surgical assistants, works collaboratively to ensure a smooth and efficient procedure, prioritizing patient safety and optimal outcomes.

A small infraumbilical incision (typically 5 cm) is used in single-port robotic surgery, allowing for a minimally invasive approach with fewer incisions and faster recovery. Positioned just below the belly button, this entry point enables extraperitoneal access, reducing the risk of intra-abdominal complications. This technique is commonly used for prostatectomy and other urologic procedures, offering patients reduced pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to daily activities.
