Robotic Surgery in Los Angeles
Advanced da Vinci robotic surgery from Dr. Yosef Nasseri — smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster return to life for complex colorectal conditions.
The Future of Colorectal Surgery, Today
Robotic surgery represents the most advanced form of minimally invasive care available for colorectal conditions. Using the da Vinci platform, Dr. Nasseri operates through a few tiny incisions with a level of precision, visualization, and control that traditional surgery cannot match.
For patients, that precision translates into real benefits: less pain, less blood loss, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to work and normal activity. Dr. Nasseri is a recognized expert who trains other surgeons around the world in these techniques.

Conditions Treated This Way
Not every operation needs a robot, but for many complex colorectal procedures the approach offers clear advantages. Dr. Nasseri will tell you honestly whether it is right for you.
Colon & Rectal Cancer
Precise, minimally invasive removal of tumors with excellent visualization of delicate structures, supporting better outcomes and recovery.
Diverticulitis
Removal of diseased segments of colon through small incisions, reducing pain and speeding recovery for complicated cases.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Complex procedures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis performed with tissue-sparing precision.
Why Minimally Invasive Matters
Traditional open surgery requires a large incision that means more pain, a longer hospital stay, and weeks of recovery. Minimally invasive techniques accomplish the same goal through small incisions, and the robotic platform takes this further with wristed instruments and a magnified, three-dimensional view.
This combination allows Dr. Nasseri to operate in tight spaces, such as deep in the pelvis, with remarkable accuracy. The result is a gentler experience for the patient and, for many procedures, outcomes that match or exceed open surgery while preserving quality of life.
The Benefits You Can Expect
For the right patient and procedure, the advantages of a robotic approach are significant and measurable.
Less Pain
Smaller incisions mean substantially less postoperative pain and a reduced need for pain medication.
Faster Recovery
Most patients go home sooner and return to normal activity in days to weeks rather than months.
Smaller Scars
A few tiny incisions replace one large one, leaving minimal scarring.
Greater Precision
Magnified 3D vision and wristed instruments allow delicate, accurate work around critical structures.
Lower Complication Rates
Less blood loss and reduced tissue trauma contribute to fewer complications for many procedures.
What to Expect
Every surgical plan begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Nasseri reviews your imaging and history, explains your options clearly, and recommends the safest, most effective approach for your specific condition.
Before your appointment
You will receive complete pre-operative instructions, including any needed testing and guidance on medications, so you arrive fully prepared.
During your visit
The operation is performed through a few small incisions; Dr. Nasseri controls every movement of the instruments from a console beside you.

Robotic Surgery FAQs
Is robotic surgery safe?
Yes. In experienced hands it is very safe and, for many colorectal procedures, offers less pain and faster recovery than open surgery. Dr. Nasseri is an internationally recognized expert in these techniques.
Does a robot perform the surgery?
No. Dr. Nasseri performs the entire operation, controlling every instrument from a console. The platform simply gives him greater precision, vision, and control than the human hand alone.
Will I have a large scar?
No. The procedure uses a few small incisions instead of one large one, resulting in minimal scarring.
How long is recovery?
Recovery is typically much faster than open surgery, with many patients returning to normal activity within a couple of weeks. Your exact timeline depends on the procedure.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Most PPO plans are accepted and our team verifies your benefits in advance. Call (424) 655-3312 to confirm coverage.
