Why choose Ochsner Health for robotic surgery?
Ochsner Health is a regional leader in robotic surgery, offering advanced, minimally invasive care for complex conditions. Its experienced surgeons use the latest robotic-assisted technology to improve precision, reduce recovery time and deliver better outcomes than traditional open surgery. We offer robotic surgery in New Orleans, Kenner, Chalmette, Metairie, Gretna, Baton Rouge, Slidell, Lafayette, and Crowley, Louisiana.
Robotic surgery, also known as robotic-assisted surgery, is a form of minimally invasive surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon sits at a console and controls robotic arms equipped with a high-definition camera and surgical instruments. This allows for a magnified view and greater control, helping the surgeon perform delicate procedures with accuracy.
Ochsner Health was the first hospital in the region to perform a robot-assisted bronchoscopy and resection. It also performed the first robotic Whipple procedure in Louisiana and now leads the region in the number of robotic Whipple surgeries performed each year.
