Advanced Robotic Surgery at the Wynn Hospital

At Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS), patients have access to leading-edge robotic surgery right here at the Wynn Hospital. This advanced, minimally invasive surgery technology allows our experienced surgeons to perform complex procedures with exceptional precision, control and flexibility.

Our robotic-assisted surgery program supports a wide range of procedures, including:

  • Abdominal surgery – appendix removal, gallbladder removal and hernia repair
  • Colorectal surgery – treatment for conditions affecting the colon and rectum
  • Orthopedic surgery – joint replacement procedures, including knees and hips
  • Urologic surgery – procedures involving the prostate, kidneys and bladder.

Benefits for Our Patients

Choosing robotic-assisted surgery at MVHS means benefiting from innovative care close to home. Patients often experience:

  • Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
  • Less pain and reduced need for pain medication
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Faster recovery and return to daily activities.

At the Wynn Hospital, our commitment to advanced surgical care ensures you receive high-quality treatment using the latest technology – so you can heal faster and get back to what matters most.

Surgeons at MVHS have been using the da Vinci® Si™ and the da Vinci® Xi™ Systems for bariatric, urological, gynecologic, thoracic, cardiac and general surgery procedures.

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Cardiac Patients
  • Hernias
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • General Surgery
  • Gynecology Patients
  • Head and Neck Patients
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Urology Surgery

Orthopedic surgeons at MVHS use the Mako SmartRobotics™ system for:

  • Total knee replacement
  • Partial knee replacement
  • Total hip replacement.

Robotic surgery means smaller incisions when it comes time for your surgery. That also means shorter hospitalization, faster recovery times and less scarring.

MVHS is a leader in robotic surgery. We are proud to offer two innovative robotic systems utilized by our surgeons at Wynn Hospital – the da Vinci® robot and the Mako SmartRobotics™ System.

Features of the da Vinci Robot

  • A new overhead instrument arm architecture designed to facilitate anatomical access from virtually any position.
  • A new endoscope digital architecture that creates a simpler, more compact design with improved vision definition and clarity.
  • An ability to attach the endoscope to any arm, providing flexibility for visualizing the surgical site.
  • Smaller, thinner arms with newly designed joints that offer a greater range of motion than ever before.
  • Longer instrument shafts designed to give surgeons greater operative reach.

Surgeons at MVHS have been using the da Vinci® Si™ and the da Vinci® Xi™ Systems for a variety of procedures. Both of the da Vinci® Systems are an expandable technology platform that are designed to accommodate and seamlessly integrate a range of current technologies, as well as future innovations, in areas such as imaging, advanced instruments and anatomical access.

Features of Mako SmartRobotics

  • The SmartRobotics™ System can be used across the orthopedic service line and is the only robotic technology equipped with AccuStop™ haptic technology.
  • Mako was the first robotic technology that could be used across the joint replacement service line to perform total knee, total hip and partial knee replacements.
  • Surgeons can use the Mako System to create a personalized surgical plan and identify the desired implant size, orientation and alignment.

The Mako System also enables surgeons to virtually modify the surgical plan intraoperatively and assists them in executing bone resections.
