Robotic Surgery

The da Vinci surgical systems at Memorial Hospital Belleville and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville give Lincoln Surgical surgeons the ability to perform a number of laparoscopic and minimally invasive procedures robotically on a select group of patients who may benefit from this type of surgery. Although it's called robotic surgery, our surgeons are in complete control of da Vinci's robotic arms, which can bend, pivot, and rotate with ease and precision, much like a human hand.    

The da Vinci systems also offer state-of-the-art, high-definition imaging, so surgeons can more easily see the areas they are repairing.

Benefits to patients

Our surgeons can perform both complex and routine surgeries, primarily hernia or colon surgeries, using the da Vinci system. Minimally invasive robotic surgery offers cutting-edge precision for surgeons and results in smaller incisions, less scarring, and shorter recovery times for patients.

Refer your patients

D. Scott Crouch, MD, FACS, and Kevin T. Barnett, MD, FACS, can perform robotic, laparoscopic surgery on the da Vinci systems. If you have a patient who needs a surgery that may be performed with da Vinci, please refer them to Lincoln Surgical by calling 618.277.7400.
