St. Francis opened its doors in 2005 – the first new hospital built to serve residents south of the James River in over two decades.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.

The da Vinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

For the patient, benefits may include:
Significantly less pain
Less blood loss
Less scarring
Shorter recovery time
A faster return to normal daily activities
And in many cases, better clinical outcomes
