Robotic Surgery

Home / Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery can be used to treat cancers and tumors of the colon and rectum, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease, hernias, and other abdominal conditions. .

In the past, surgeons made large incisions in skin and muscle so that they could directly see and work on the area of concern. This is called open surgery. Today doctors still perform open surgery, but can also perform many colorectal procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery..

Both minimally invasive surgical options require a few small incisions that doctors use to insert surgical equipment and a camera for viewing. In laparoscopic surgery, doctors use special long-handled tools to perform surgery while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.

Dr. Dattani is specially trained in robotic colorectal surgery and is one of the few in the state of Idaho with this skill. He strives to perform surgery through small incisions, and aims for fast recovery after surgery, with minimally invasive surgery utilizing the robotic platform, patients recovery faster, have shorter lengths of stay in hospital and use less pain medications if any during post-operative recovery.

Da Vinci surgical systems are comprised of three components: surgeon console, patient-side cart, and vision cart.

Amazing Dr who is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He had just done my surgery on Monday. Dr Dattani and his assistants were very helpful and friendly through my appointments and with surgery as well. He had called me the next day to checkup on me to see how I was doing. Greatly appreciate everything he and his staff have done for me!

Amazing! Dattani is kind, caring, and a heck of a surgeon. He kept me informed on my mothers surgery on a daily basis, and on weekends. He was always available for phone calls. Dattani said he would treat my mother like his nana and he more than lived up to it.

Dr. Dattani saved my life. He is a wonderful doctor and, more importantly, a wonderful human being. I highly recommend him to anyone needing colon or rectal surgery.
