Da Vinci Xi robotic surgery

Dr. Sanni uses the Da Vinci Xi system for surgeon-controlled robotic surgery, including acid reflux repair, hernia repair, gallbladder surgery and gastric sleeve surgery.

The surgeon directs the instruments

A robotic surgical system can combine a camera, instruments and a control console. The surgeon views the operating area and controls the movement of the instruments. The system does not perform the operation independently.

EDUCATIONAL VIDEO

da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System

By Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin

YouTube loads only when you choose to watch. This is an external educational resource; your care team will explain your own operation and risks.

Robotic procedures we perform

Dr. Sanni performs the four procedures below using the Da Vinci Xi system. Your condition and health history guide the choice of approach.

Hernia repair

Understand the location of the hernia and the repair being considered.

Gastric sleeve

Explore the permanent stomach changes involved in sleeve surgery.

Compare the choices for your procedure

Discuss the risks and benefits alongside other treatment options. Surgery can involve bleeding, infection and injury to nearby tissues or organs. Ask how your health affects these risks.

Useful questions include whether conventional laparoscopy or open surgery is an alternative and what might require a change of approach during the operation.

Questions about experience and recovery

The equipment is one part of the discussion. Ask about the operation, the team and your own recovery needs.

What experience should I ask about?

Ask about the surgeon’s training and experience with the specific operation and system being considered.

Does a robotic approach guarantee a faster recovery?

It cannot promise an individual recovery time. Ask what affects your expected recovery and which restrictions would apply.

Where would the operation take place?

Confirm the surgical facility and arrangements with the practice before planning your care.
