MIS/Robotic Surgery

Status as an accredited facility means Dr. Abtin Khosravi has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all health care providers seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous inspection process are granted accreditation. Health care facilities and surgeons seeking accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC’s proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. The inspection involves all staff working in the accredited program. Inspectors educate staff on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.

SRC accredits the top medical professionals and facilities in the world who are dedicated to sustaining a culture of excellence by committing to safety, high-quality surgical care and optimal patient outcomes. This accreditation distinguishes Dr. Abtin Khosravi from many other surgeons for delivering the highest quality of care to patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.

• Smaller incisions, which reduces pain and shortens recovery time, as well as resulting in less postoperative scarring and improved cosmetic results.
• Less pain, leading to less pain medication needed.
• Hospital stay is less, and often with a same day discharge which leads to a faster return to everyday living and quicker return to work.
• Reduced complications including decreased risk of acquiring infections.
• Reduced hemorrhaging, which reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion.

Dr. Khosravi performs Single Incision Robotic Gallbladder Surgery. He performs single incision robotic cholecystectomy at St. Joseph’s Hospital Orange, California.

Single Incision Robotic Surgery provides enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control, while offering patients many potential benefits as compared to traditional surgery.

During the procedure, Dr. Khosravi sits at a console viewing 3-D, high-definition video and images while using controls below the display to move robotic arms with attached surgical instruments.

Unlike traditional robotic surgeries, Single Incision Robotic Cholecystectomy allows for a single incision at the belly button where the diseased gallbladder is removed laparoscopically.

Benefits of the single-incision surgery can include minimal scarring, less pain, less bleeding, faster recovery and a shorter hospital stay, enhancing quality and safety and improving patient satisfaction.
