Minimally Invasive Transoral Robotic Surgery
Summerlin Hospital Medical Center is the first hospital in Nevada, and one of only a handful of facilities worldwide, to use high-tech 3-D robotic surgery operated by a specially trained surgeon to remove oral, head and neck tumors.
Transoral Robotic Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that uses the da Vinci® Surgical System to treat tumors of the head and neck.
