Pioneering Advanced, Minimally Invasive Surgeries in Southern Illinois

Since 2011, SIH has been utilizing cutting-edge robotic technology to assist surgeons in a wide range of procedures. Robotic assisted surgeries allow our highly experienced surgeons to remain in full control but offer minimally invasive procedures that lead to the improved patient outcomes.

The technology will offer orthopedic, bariatric and general surgery patients to have superior minimally invasive surgery options, right here at home at SIH Herrin Hospital and SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale.

SIH has the largest Robotic Surgery Program in Southern Illinois: Now offering robotic surgeries across multiple specialties such as gynecology, urology, general surgery and more.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery:

• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions result in less pain and quicker recovery times.
• Reduced Blood Loss: Lower risk of blood loss and complications.
• Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients often go home sooner than with traditional surgery.
• Less Need for Pain Medication: Due to the precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissue, patients require fewer pain medications post-surgery.

Robotic-assisted surgery is a game-changer for our community. Not only does it offer patients faster recovery with less pain, but it also allows us to perform complex procedures that would otherwise require patients to seek care outside of the area. The future is now.

Robotic assisted surgery allows our surgeons to perform complex procedures with unmatched precision and control. The systems employ high-quality 3D visualization, magnifying the surgical field to ensure maximum accuracy. Robotic surgery patients often have less bleeding, and shorter hospital stays as well.
