Single-port access
The camera and instruments work through one access point, rather than needing separate entry points for each. Your procedure determines the approach.
Surgical Associates · Tulsa, Oklahoma
Advanced technology. Personal care.
Surgical Associates offers da Vinci SP, a single-port robotic system that gives our surgeons another way to perform minimally invasive surgery. Discover whether this approach may be right for you.
Your surgeon is in control. Your care stays personal.
The technology, simply explained
The da Vinci SP system combines a high-definition 3D camera with flexible surgical instruments through a single access point. It is designed to help surgeons see and work precisely in compact spaces.
The camera and instruments work through one access point, rather than needing separate entry points for each. Your procedure determines the approach.
A flexible, high-definition camera provides a magnified, three-dimensional view to help your surgeon see the area being treated.
Specialized instruments bend and move within small spaces, helping your surgeon reach and work around the anatomy involved in your procedure.
Single-port surgery is not appropriate for every patient or procedure. Additional incisions or a different approach may be needed.
Expertise comes first
Robotic-assisted does not mean automated. Your surgeon is in the operating room, controlling the camera and instruments from a console. The system does not perform surgery on its own.
At Surgical Associates, advanced technology supports what matters most: a thoughtful treatment plan and a personal relationship with your surgical team.
The technology supports your surgeon’s skills. It does not replace their judgment or your individual care plan.
What it means for you
Your condition, health history, and treatment goals help determine whether da Vinci SP is an appropriate option. The goal is to choose the approach that fits your needs—not to use one technology for everyone.
Talk with our teamMeet with your surgeon to discuss your diagnosis, medical history, and questions.
Discuss whether single-port surgery is a fit, along with the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
Talk through preparation, the procedure location, recovery expectations, and follow-up care.
A little more clarity
Bring your questions to your consultation. We’re here to help you understand your choices.
“SP” stands for single port. The system brings a camera and surgical instruments through one access point. Depending on the procedure, that may be an incision or a natural opening.
Not every procedure or patient is a match for single-port surgery. Your surgeon will explain whether da Vinci SP is an option for your condition and discuss other approaches when appropriate.
Not necessarily. Although da Vinci SP is designed for single-port access, your surgeon may need additional access or a different surgical approach. Your individual needs and safety guide that decision.
Recovery depends on the operation, your health, and other individual factors. Your surgeon will discuss what to expect, including follow-up care and when you may return to your usual activities. A particular recovery time is not guaranteed.
Da Vinci SP surgery takes place in an operating room, not during a routine office appointment. Your consultation is where we review your options. Our team will explain the surgical location and next steps if a procedure is recommended.
