Lompoc Valley Medical Center offers surgery using the da Vinci XI Single
Console Robotic System. The da Vinci enables our surgeons to use computer-guided,
enhanced 3D visuals to perform many standard procedures.
This advancement in surgical systems typically results in shorter stays,
reduced pain, faster recovery time, smaller incisions, and minimal scarring.
