Robotic Surgery in Milwaukee, Mequon, Glendale, Cudahy, Germantown, Saukville and Waukesha
Robotic surgery gives your surgeon a level of precision and control that's hard to match with traditional instruments. At Madison Medical, our surgical team uses robotic-assisted technology to treat a range of conditions through small incisions, with the same surgeon at the controls the entire time. You get the benefits of minimally invasive surgery with even greater accuracy. We see patients across Milwaukee, Mequon, Glendale, Cudahy, Germantown, Saukville, and Waukesha.
What Robotic Surgery Is
Robotic-assisted surgery isn't surgery performed by a machine. Your surgeon controls every movement of the instruments through a console that translates their hand motions into precise, magnified actions inside your body. The robotic system offers a 3D high-definition view and a greater range of motion than the human wrist alone, which helps your surgeon work in tight spaces with more control.
Conditions and Procedures Treated With Robotic Surgery
- Gallbladder removal
- Hernia repair, including complex ventral hernias
- Colon and rectal procedures

Your surgeon will tell you during your consultation whether robotic surgery is the right fit for your specific condition.
Meet Our Surgical Team
Our general surgeons, including Dr. Richard Cattey, Dr. Alysandra Lal, Dr. Joseph Regan, Dr. Craig Siverhus, and Dr. Jasna Coralic, bring extensive training in minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques to every robotic-assisted case. They apply this technology across general, bariatric, vascular, colorectal, and oncologic procedures, always with your safety and outcome as the priority.
What You Can Expect
Your journey starts with a consultation where your surgeon reviews your condition, your imaging, and your overall health to determine if robotic surgery makes sense. If it does, you'll receive detailed instructions to prepare, including guidance on medications, food and drink restrictions, and what to bring on the day of your procedure. Most robotic procedures are performed on an outpatient or short-stay basis. Afterward, your surgical team gives you a clear recovery plan and schedules follow-up visits to monitor your healing.
Why Patients Choose Robotic Surgery at Madison Medical
Robotic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open procedures. Incisions are smaller, which means less scarring and a lower risk of infection. Many patients experience less pain after surgery and need fewer pain medications during recovery. Blood loss during the procedure tends to be lower, and most patients return home faster than they would after open surgery.
Your surgeon also benefits from improved visualization and dexterity, which can make a real difference in complex cases involving narrow spaces or delicate tissue. Combined with our team's experience across multiple specialties, robotic surgery at Madison Medical means your procedure is handled by a surgeon who treats these conditions regularly.
Robotic surgery isn't the right fit for every patient or every condition. Your surgeon evaluates factors like tumor size, scar tissue from prior surgeries, and your overall health before recommending this approach. If robotic surgery isn't the best option for your case, your surgeon will explain why and recommend the technique that gives you the best outcome instead.
