The Halron's helped Bellin Health establish the first robotics program in Northeastern Wisconsin, utilizing the da Vinci Robot in 2005. Bellin Health now has three da Vinci Robots and has performed over 2200 procedures.
There are 19 surgeons trained at Bellin Health to use the robots in four specialties which include urology, gynecology, general surgery and thoracic surgery. The da Vinci robots are designed to preserve the natural eye-hand-instrument alignment. The robots instrument tips can rotate like the human wrist, allowing surgeons to perform complex surgeries. Surgeons using conventional laparoscopy must operate with long-shafted, non-wristed instruments, which is similar to using a single chopstick or knitting needle in each hand. Surgeons view the operative site on a standard 2D video monitor that can't provide depth of the surgical field. In contrast, the da Vinci robots can provide surgeons dramatically better precision, vision, dexterity and control allowing them to use a minimally invasive approach in complex surgical procedures.
Several Bellin Health general and gynecologic surgeons are among the first in Wisconsin to perform Single-Site da Vinci robotic surgery to remove a gallbladder (cholecystectomy) and uterus (hysterectomy) from patients. Patients who choose Single-Site da Vinci robotic surgery experience a virtually scarless procedure since surgery is performed through only one incision in the belly button, which dramatically limits visible scarring.
Benefits of robotic surgery are reduced pain, minimal scarring, lower infection risk, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, which can result in overall lower costs to the patient.

Allison's goal was to help treat the mind, body and spirit of patients, like herself, who suffered from chronic pain.
