Robotic Surgery

Robotic-Assisted Surgery Expertise Unrivaled in the Region

Huntington Hospital hosts the largest community-based robotic program in the San Gabriel Valley with dedicated operating rooms and an experienced robotic team.

Advantages of robotic surgery include minimal scarring, less pain, and faster recovery times.

We offer minimally invasive robotic surgery utilizing the state-of-the-art da Vinci surgical system, the latest generation of robotic surgery equipment, to perform increasingly complex laparoscopic procedures.

Today, more and more procedures can be performed using robotic techniques at Huntington Hospital which cover a broad range of specialty areas.
