Dr. David Lourié, Los Angeles, California surgeon, uses the da Vinci robotic surgery system, the state-of-the-art in surgical, computer, and robotics technologies to further enhance his best-in-class surgical performance in both complex and routine surgery.
​
Dr. Lourié is in complete control of the robotic system, which allows magnified, high definition, three-dimensional visualization of the interior of the body, translating Dr. Lourié’s experienced, skilled hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny surgical instruments inside your body, all without having to make a big cut.

Watch the above narrated video to learn more about how Dr. Lourié uses advanced robotic surgery

World Class Hernia Surgeon

Dr. Lourié uses advanced robotic surgery for the treatment and repair of inguinal (groin) hernias, umbilical (belly button or navel) hernias, femoral hernias, abdominal hernias, epigastric hernias, spigelian hernias, lumbar hernias, ventral, and incisional hernias in men and women. 

​Dr. Lourié was one of the first surgeons in the world to use advanced robotic staplers in stomach, intestinal, colorectal, and liver surgery.

Early Pioneer

Dr. David Lourié first began performing robotic surgery in 2006, over 15 years ago.  In 2008 he published his experience with one of the largest series of robotic gastric bypass surgeries in the nation.  With robotic assisted surgery, Dr. Lourié is able to best provide increased dexterity, superior surgical visualization, and enhanced precision through small, sometimes hard to see incisions.  Rapid recovery and return to normal function are accelerated.

Robotic Surgery Leader

Under Dr. Lourié's leadership, Huntington Hospital in Los Angeles, California tripled its robotic surgery capability, became a top epicenter for robotic training of other surgeons nationally and internationally, and offers the latest robotic technology in general surgery.  This cutting edge technology includes Firefly™ biologic immunofluorescence, advanced vessel sealing, teaching simulators, and robotic stapling devices.

A pioneer of robotic general surgery, Dr. Lourié is one of the best known robotic surgeon educators for Intuitive Surgical's daVinci robotic platform and continues to train, lecture, and educate doctors from around the country and the world in the latest robotic techniques.​
