I stayed in the hospital just one night, and the next day I went home.” Since 2005, the robotic surgery team at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has performed over 2,000 surgeries, including general surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery and urological surgery. Patients experience a less invasive technique than what is referred to as “open” surgery and may also benefit from shorter hospital stays, less blood loss, fewer complications, less need for narcotic pain medicine, faster recoveries and minimal scarring.
