MINIMALLY INVASIVE

Robotic Surgery

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Prime Surgical Center is proud to offer the da Vinci System, a sophisticated robotic surgical platform designed to facilitate surgical procedures using a minimally invasive approach.
​
Robotic surgery provides surgeons with enhanced capabilities, including high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view. The surgeon controls the system, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the body. Although it is often called a “robot,” the da Vinci System cannot act on its own – surgery is performed 100% by the surgeon.

The Precision of the da Vinci

A small robotic device used by doctors for less-invasive surgery was able to reattach part of a grape skin in a painstakingly delicate operation. 

A video of the procedure shows the remarkable precision, though it is not until the end that viewers see that all of the action is taking place inside a small bottle. Grape skins are only fractions of a centimeter thick. Surgeons use the device to be able to work effectively inside patients' bodies using keyhole surgery rather than creating bigger incisions that leave scars. The Da Vinci robot, where the surgeon looks at a 3D video of the area being operated on at a large console, is able to complete procedures where the surgical hole is less than two centimeters.

​I had a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery (complete) at the Prime Surgical Center Foothill Ranch. The facility is clean, staff is friendly, check in was easy. The facility has the latest state-of-the-art robotic equipment for this procedure. Before surgery, the Anesthesiologist Doctor asked me a lot of questions and he listened very well to all my medical issues and was able to address them. Dr. Linh Dan Nguyen performed my surgery. She is an excellent doctor and surgeon. I was very anxious about this surgery and Dr. Nguyen put me at ease and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. She is a very kind doctor with a lot of specialized training for this procedure. It is hard to find a doctor who has special training to perform this kind of laparoscopic. In addition, I literally do not have any scars from the surgery or the small incisions are so tiny I just cannot see them. I stayed over night and had two nurses, Elizabeth and Jerry, who assisted me one-on-one. They were attentive and kind to me. Highly recommend this facility for this surgery and highly recommend Dr. Linh Dan Nguyen!

I had surgery here yesterday and it was a much better experience then previous surgeries that I've had at hospitals. The place is small and very clean and the staff were all so friendly and super helpful. I was the first (and only) patient in there. It was so nice compared to going to the hospital where you're one of 20 patients (or more) for that day for outpatient surgery. The staff were all so attentive. And although I was nervous, being the only patient there and knowing how focused the staff was, really helped to calm my nerves and worries. I'm not sure if there were any patients after me, but I know when I woke up Tina my nurse was right there and got me some anti-nauseous medicine and pain relief along with hot water and a 7up. At the hospital you have to wait for someone to help you out and even longer if you would like something to drink. She took out my IV and helped me with whatever I needed. I was in and out of there and back home in my bed in no time. I highly recommend Prime surgical center if it is an option for you to have your surgery there. Such a wonderful experience for something no one ever wants to have to go through.

2 days ago I had surgery at Prime Surgical Center and It was a wonderful experience! This is a small outpatient surgical facility and is great for someone having routine surgery not feel overwhelmed by a big hospital. I was nervous,of course, but the staff there made me feel very welcome. The check-in at the admin desk was quick and the receptionist explained the paperwork thoroughly. When i was taken into the pre-op room I was asked all of the necessary questions about pain/allergies. All the nurses came over to say hello ( i was the only patient at the time so i know that this contributed somewhat to all the attention being on me, but still) The anesthesiologist asked me questions about past-surgeries and addressed any concerns I had. After my surgery was done I was able to relax and then leave when I felt up to it. Crystal called me the following day to see how my recovery was going which was so appreciated. Luckily, I had no complications but If i did I was given the opportunity to address them. I was handled with such care and consideration that i will recommend this facility to anyone I know having surgery.
