More Precision. Less Pain. Quicker Recovery.
Robotic surgery offers surgeons the advantages of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery with the added benefits of more precise instruments, increased vision, and total control of more aspects of the operation — making it possible to do less invasive surgery in even the most challenging conditions.
Additional benefits of robotic surgery include:
- Smaller incisions
- Less trauma
- Quicker recovery
- Faster return to normal activities
One of Chicago's Busiest Robotic Programs
With 6 da Vinci® XI® surgical robots – we're one of the busiest robotic surgery programs in the Chicago metropolitan area and one of the Top 3 robotic surgery centers in the Midwest with more than 20,000 procedures to date!
Why Choose Silver Cross
At Silver Cross, we’re always focused on the things that matter most to our patients: quality, safety and outcomes. That's why Healthgrades, the leading resource consumers use to find a doctor or hospital, named Silver Cross the #1 hospital in Illinois for Surgical Care for 2024 and 2025.
These prestigious awards, which are based solely on patient outcomes, demonstrate our focus is right where it needs to be. In fact, research shows that top-ranked Healthgrades hospitals provide patients with consistently superior outcomes across 15 of the most common in-hospital surgical procedures including cardiac, vascular, joint replacement, prostate, spine, and gastrointestinal surgeries.
Renowned Surgeons. Close to Home.
The Institute is also home to some of the most experienced robotic surgeons in the nation with the expertise, outcomes and skill to deliver the highest level of surgical care in robotic surgery. Many of these surgeons are pioneers in their field, mentoring other surgeons across the 50 states and around the world in advanced colorectal, gynecological, and hernia repair and gallbladder removal robotic techniques. Others help design the implants used during joint replacement surgery.
Superior Outcomes
The Institute’s comprehensive team of robotic surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and technicians have safely performed over 20,000 robotic procedures with complication and infection rates well below the national average. And, our patients consistently rate us in the Top 10% in the nation for patient satisfaction.
Single-Site Surgery
These experts even perform complex procedures such as Single-Site® Hysterectomy and Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) through one tiny incision in the belly button for virtually scar-less results.
