Minimally invasive surgery close to home
So you can heal quickly and get back to the people you enjoy most
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all your medical options. Our program offers the versatile da Vinci Surgical System, ExcelsiusGPS for spine surgeries, and Mako Robotic-Assisted System for total knee or hip replacements.
Our program provides surgeons with alternatives to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of state-of-the-art robotic platforms, enabling surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
To schedule an appointment with an orthopedic specialist please call (323) 265-5050.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery:
- Significantly less pain
- Less need for pain medications
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to daily activities
- Better clinical outcomes
Many conditions can be treated using robotic-assisted surgery, including:
- Gallbladder disease
- Gynecologic conditions
- Bariatric Surgery
- Pancreatic disease
- Prostate conditions
- Stomach cancer
- Knee and hip replacement
- Spine surgery

Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Bariatric, Gastrointestinal, General, Gynecological, Hernia and Urological Procedures

The da Vinci Xi Surgical System brings the most advanced robotic technology
to patients and physicians in the area. Many of the minimally invasive
procedures allow patients to have their procedure done, then comfortably
recover at home the same day. This results in less post-surgical pain,
shorter hospital stays and faster return to normal daily activities. Versatile
for procedures as wide-ranging as gallbladder, kidney stones, and overactive
bladder issues to infertility and cancer treatment.
Although the da Vinci is referred to as a “robot,” the system is not autonomous. It does not perform surgery, and the surgeon is always in complete control of the instruments. With the surgeon sitting at a console just a few feet from the patient, the da Vinci system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into corresponding micro-movements of the surgical instruments. This system enables physicians to perform delicate and complex operations through tiny incisions with enhanced dexterity and control.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Spine Procedures

The ExcelsiusGPS is the next revolution in robotic spine surgery in the
development of spinal and orthopedic implants and surgical instruments
for patients with spine disorders. ExcelsiusGPS is designed to improve
accuracy and optimize patient care by using robotics and navigation, much
like a GPS in your car.
On the day of surgery medical images are taken and imported into ExcelsiusGPS. The surgeon uses these images to determine the size and placement of implants and creates a patient plan based on your anatomy. This is used to guide the rigid robotic arm to a specific region of your spine, similar to a planned route or pathway on a GPS. The surgeon uses this pathway or route to accurately place the implants using instruments.
Throughout the procedure, the surgical instruments and implants are continuously displayed on the screen for the surgeon and staff to monitor. This display allows the surgeon to view live feedback during your procedure for more precise implant placement.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Knee and Hip Joint Replacement
The Mako combines advanced robotic technology which enables surgeons to have a more predictable surgical experience with increased accuracy.
Total knee replacements in the United States are expected to increase significantly
in the upcoming years, and studies have shown that approximately 30 percent
of patients are dissatisfied after conventional surgery. Through CT-based
3D modeling of bone anatomy, our surgeons can now use the Mako System
to create a personalized surgical plan based on a patient’s unique
anatomy and to virtually modify the surgical plan intra-operatively as needed.
The Mako System is the first and only robotic technology that can be used across joint replacements to perform total knee, total hip and partial knee replacements.
