St. Luke's single-site robotic gallbladder surgery video

Sylvester Kafer is back to gardening after recently having single-site robotic gallblader surgery. "I didn't have any pain from the surgery," said Kafer. During the minimally invasive procedure the surgeon makes a small, single incision in the patients' belly button using robotic surgery. Traditional gallbladder surgery typically requires a large opening in the abdomen, or in laparoscopic surgery, multiple small incisions. Traditional surgery generally requires a hospital stay with recovery times ranging from days to a week. With robotic surgery, the patient will go home that day and resume normal activity as soon as they feel up to it. "Smaller incisions, less hernias, less pain, quicker return to whatever your interests are and a lot less insult to the patient," said Dr. Kevin Kopesky, Physicians Clinic of Iowa general surgeon. "I had bypass surgery where you can't do anything," said Kafer. "I had aordic surgery where you had to wait for recovery time and this was...did I have surgery?"
