The Future of Surgery is Here

Robot-Assisted Surgery at MHP in Shelbyville, IN

At Major Health Partners (MHP), we’re proud to offer advanced robot-assisted surgery to help patients heal faster, experience less pain, and get back to their lives sooner. Using small incisions and highly advanced technology, our surgical team can perform a wide range of procedures with greater precision and control than traditional methods.

What Is Robot-Assisted Surgery?

Robot-assisted surgery doesn’t mean a robot is doing the procedure on its own. In fact, your surgeon is in full control the entire time. Using a computer console, the surgeon carefully guides robotic instruments that mimic their hand movements with exact precision. The system also provides a high-definition, magnified view of the surgical area to help ensure optimal results.

Why Choose Robotic Surgery?

Because these procedures are usually minimally invasive, patients typically benefit from:

• Less pain after surgery
• Smaller incisions and less scarring
• Lower risk of infection
• Shorter hospital stays
• Quicker recovery

As with any surgery, there are risks, and your care team will talk with you about what to expect and whether this option is right for you.

How It Works

Each surgery is unique, but most robotic procedures follow a similar process:

1. The surgeon makes a few small incisions and inserts a tiny camera.
2. The surgeon operates from a nearby console, using hand controls to guide the tools.
3. The robotic arms translate each movement with incredible accuracy and range of motion

Our expert surgical team uses the da Vinci® 5 Surgical System and Ion™ technology to perform procedures with greater care and better outcomes.
