Robotic surgery and personalized treatments plans offer patients faster recover time.
Diana Davis was preparing for a family vacation when she found out she had liver cancer caused by hepatitis C. At first, doctors thought she would need a liver transplant. Instead, through the SCCA/UW Medical Center Liver Tumor Clinic, a team of specialists provided a personalized treatment plan using robotic surgery to remove the tumor. James Park, MD, a surgical oncologist, explains how the minimally invasive operation leads to faster recovery, and how it allowed Davis to walk two miles the same day of her surgery.
