Minimally Invasive Expertise
Robotic Surgery
Spectrum Health is West Michigan’s largest provider for robotic surgery, and continues to be a forerunner in minimally-invasive surgery for a wide breadth of surgical specialties. Having performed over 10,000 robotically-assisted procedures since 2006, Spectrum Health is established as a center of excellence for technologically advanced surgical options.
Robotically-assisted surgery offers surgical precision and dexterity that enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex procedures through small incisions. These procedures have been associated with improved outcomes; reduced post-operative pain, shorter length of stay in the hospital and fewer overall complications when compared to open incision procedures. This means patients are able to return to their activities of daily living much sooner.
Robotic Surgery Locations
Surgical robots at nine hospitals within the Spectrum Health enterprise provide access to the most advanced minimally-invasive technology across West Michigan.
