Mayo Clinic's approach
Collaboration
Mayo Clinic doctors in many specialties are trained in robotic surgery. They work together with staff in other areas to coordinate your care. During your surgery, doctors with expertise in robot-assisted techniques lead a trained surgical team.
A wide range of procedures
Surgeons and surgical team members who perform robotic-assisted procedures are specially trained to use this technology. Mayo Clinic surgeons perform a wide range of robotic surgeries, including:
- Abdominal surgery and colon and rectal surgery.
- Partial knee replacement surgery.
- Cardiovascular surgery.
- Gynecologic surgery.
- Head and neck surgery.
- Spine surgery.
- Urologic surgery.
Not all procedures may be available at each Mayo Clinic location. Talk to your doctor about whether you can have robotic surgery and where it is available.
Advanced technology and research
People undergoing robot-assisted surgery at Mayo Clinic benefit from Mayo's advanced technology. In addition, Mayo Clinic researchers are committed to developing and sharing new robotic surgery techniques and evaluating their effectiveness.
