Robotic Urology Surgery

The Skill of a Surgeon plus the Precision of a Robot

The latest state-of-the-art Da Vinci Xi robot-assisted surgical system is available in Santa Barbara! This exciting advancement in laparoscopic urological surgery is minimally-invasive, requiring smaller incisions and less anesthesia. Sansum Clinic's skilled surgeons gain the Da Vinci robot's enhanced 3D view, superior dexterity and precision, and greater range-of-motion. The result for you is reduced blood loss and fewer complications including minimal post-operative pain, lower risk of infection, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.
