Common (and painful) issues like gallbladder problems, hernias, hemorrhoids can often be taken care of with minimally invasive operations. In most cases, patients can go home the same day the operation is performed — allowing them to feel better and get back to their loved ones. So don’t delay and get some pain relief.

General surgeons care for patients needing surgery on the abdomen, skin, breast, soft tissues, esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, gallbladder, and bile ducts, among other organs. The team at DeKalb Regional Medical Center partners with patients to develop comprehensive treatment plans. They take the time to listen and translate medical terms in a way that makes it easier to understand your choices.
At DeKalb Regional Medical Center, we’re committed to offering patients advanced and minimally invasive surgical options. Our Da Vinci Xi robotic surgery system allows surgeons to perform a wide range of procedures with greater precision, smaller incisions, and a faster, smoother recovery for patients.
Robotic-assisted surgery isn’t performed by a robot—it’s guided entirely by your surgeon, who controls every movement from a specialized console. The Da Vinci Xi simply enhances what skilled hands can already do, offering magnified 3D views, improved dexterity, and remarkable accuracy within small, delicate spaces.
Procedures We Offer
Our robotic program supports many common and complex procedures across general surgery and gynecology, including:
- Hysterectomy
- Uterine fibroid removal (myomectomy)
- OBGYN diagnostic procedures
- Hernia repair
- Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
- Abdominal wall reconstruction
- Treatment of bowel obstruction
As technology continues to grow, our robotic surgery capabilities grow with it—helping patients return to normal life sooner and with greater comfort.
Why Patients Choose Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Many patients benefit from:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain after surgery
- Shorter hospital stays
- Reduced risk of complications
- Quicker return to daily activities
Most importantly, you maintain the expertise of a skilled surgeon who is in control from start to finish. Our Operating Room team also includes experienced perioperative nurses and surgical technicians with special training in robotic surgery.
Wondering If Robotic Surgery is Right for You?
Every patient and every condition is unique. To learn whether the Da Vinci Xi is an appropriate option for your procedure, ask your surgeon. They will guide you through the benefits, risks and alternatives so you can make the choice that’s best for your health.
