"I will forever be grateful that the treatment route that I chose, da Vinci Surgery, was successful and without complications."
Read Fred's Full Story 
"I have been a nurse for 24 years and haven't seen anyone be able to return to work and life that quickly after a hysterectomy. I strongly encourage all who are appropriate (candidates) for this procedure to have it this way, with the da Vinci."
Read Stephanie's Full Story "Comparing this surgery to previous surgeries I have had, the recovery period was much quicker and with less pain and discomfort. I would definitely recommend the da Vinci surgery to others who are facing a similar problem."
Read Raymond's Full Story "It was pain-free. I was out of the hospital in a day and a half. Literally two weeks into my recovery I was building bird houses in my garage just to pass the time so I could get to the point were I would be released to go back to work."
Read Dennis's Full Story "I left the hospital without any staples or any stitches. I was totally free to go home and actually didn't have another appointment for another 6 weeks. This is the way to do it, if you can do it this way."
Read Marianne's Full Story 
"I would not even consider going the old method. I like that robot, I really do. And, actually I have everybody saying, 'I want what you had!'"
Read Lillian's Full Story 
"It's mind-boggling to me that I had a total hysterectomy and less than 24 hours later I was headed home and in less than 2 weeks I was back to normal activities. I don't even feel like I've had surgery. That's an amazing thing, I don't feel like I had surgery and I'm less than a month out"
Read Sylvia's Full Story 
"From the bottom of my perfectly healed heart, I thank you (Intuitive Surgical) for all you do."
Read Jane's Full Story "There is absolutely no sense - if you are a viable candidate - to go in through the chest and all the pain, invasiveness, recovery time and everything else involved in that surgery. You may get a slightly better closure of the valve, but certainly not worth the aggravation, pain and recovery time that that involves. This is absolutely the best procedure."
Read Lawrence's Full Story 
"I feel as if have completely cheated cancer. I expected to experience a time where I would be completely incapacitated, followed by a prolonged period of healing, but that was never the case."
Read Sheldon's Full Story 
"Instead of a fatal heart condition, I now have a corrected heart that is expected to provide 'significantly more energy' than I had before the operation. And recovery in a fraction of the normal time. Some people have all the luck. That would be me, fishing just 16 days after heart surgery."
Read Kurt's Full Story "It appears to be the apex of technology."
Read Howard's Full Story "My dreams (of having a baby) are going to be able to come true.."
Read Julia's Full Story 
"I had my son's birthday party, with the works, four days later. I was a little slow, but you know, I would have still been in the hospital if I'd had a traditional hysterectomy."
Read Christina Clark's Full Story 
"When they offered me the laparoscopic surgery, I said, "Sign me up!" I wanted the less invasive approach and quicker recovery time."
