Dr. Brian Harkins provides robotic-assisted gallbladder surgery using the latest DaVinci surgical system and other cutting-edge tools. Combining his expertise with advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Harkins focuses on delivering precise, minimally invasive procedures that lead to successful outcomes. Patients benefit from smaller incisions, less scarring, and faster recovery times, ensuring a smoother return to health.
Many gallbladder conditions require surgical treatment, with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy being a leading solution. Dr. Harkins and his team specialize in robotic laparoscopic cholecystectomy and minimally invasive gallbladder surgery commonly performed for gallstones or inflamed gallbladder. To enhance safety and reduce the risk of bile duct injury, the procedure utilizes Firefly™ imaging, a robotic technology that provides real-time fluorescence imaging for better visualization of the bile ducts.
Conditions like acute acalculous cholecystitis in critically ill patients often demand a robotic-assisted gallbladder procedure. This approach uses tiny surgical instruments inserted through three to four small incisions or a single incision near the belly button, minimizing risks and promoting faster healing. Techniques such as single-site robotic cholecystectomy ensure better visualization and more precise care.
Using the latest DaVinci surgical system, where the surgeon sits at a console, Dr. Harkins delivers superior care. His ability to navigate diseased organs with tiny incisions and advanced 3D imaging provides successful surgical procedure for all patients.
Certain groups are at a higher risk of developing gallbladder problems requiring robotic-assisted cholecystectomy. These include:
The most common gallbladder issues include gallstones, gallbladder pain, and gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis). Gallstones can form when bile hardens into solid particles, leading to pain and digestive discomfort. If gallstones block the bile ducts, it can cause severe gallbladder pain, nausea, and indigestion. Inflammation of the gallbladder may develop due to persistent irritation or infection, often requiring surgical intervention.
For patients experiencing persistent symptoms, robotic-assisted gallbladder surgery offers a minimally invasive solution with greater precision, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times.
