At Colon & Rectal Associates, our surgeons are committed to faster patient recovery times, better outcomes, and overall patient wellbeing. That’s why we’ve invested in the cutting edge Da Vinci robotic surgery system, which is minimally invasive for quick recovery, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays.
Dr. Neil Gibson has spent years developing expertise in this cutting-edge robotic-assisted surgery for colon and rectal cases. He’s used it in over 300 cases to treat conditions from diverticulitis to complex and malignant disease.
During robotic-assisted surgery, Dr. Gibson uses the Da Vinci robotic surgery system, which includes a 3D camera and mechanical arms with flexible surgical instruments attached to them. This allows him to have greater precision and superior visualization during surgery.
Many general surgeons do not have the equipment or the expertise to utilize robotic-assisted surgery in colon and rectal cases. That’s why it’s crucial to see a colorectal specialist like Drs. Gibson and Hancock.
At Colon and Rectal Associates we stay at the forefront of new innovations to benefit our patients We are the first Colon and Rectal Surgery practice in Northeast Florida to perform Single Port robotic colon surgery. In Single Port robotic surgery, your colon surgery is performed with 1 or 2 small incisions rather than 5-6 incisions in standard multiport robotic surgery.
Dr. Neil Gibson completed his general surgery training at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland followed by specialization in colon and rectal surgery at Brown University. He has been in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine region since 2020. He has performed over 1000 robotic colon and rectal resections in this region.
