At Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, we pioneer advances in the field of robotic surgery. Our surgeons work hard to stay at the forefront of minimally invasive technology.

Our physicians carefully assess the needs of each patient to determine the best and least invasive method of treatment for that individual patient’s condition. Robotic surgery is often the best choice because it offers better prognoses, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional surgery. Some robotic procedures can even be performed on an outpatient basis.
