Why Choose Virginia Mason for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Virginia Mason has some of the most experienced surgeons practicing minimally invasive techniques in the region. In 2001, Virginia Mason introduced the precision of robot-assisted surgery. What started as a handful of advanced surgical procedures has grown to more than 70 minimally invasive and robotic-assisted options for patients, with new procedures added each year.

In 2011, 83 percent of hysterectomies performed at Virginia Mason used a minimally invasive approach, more than double the national average. This technique specifically targets the area being treated with small incisions, helping patients recover faster than traditional open surgery. Offering this technology since its inception means that even patients requiring complex gynecologic surgeries can benefit from a less-invasive operation.
