A live, Q and A style discussion with Dr. Muffoletto focused on surgical decision making, referral considerations, and advanced techniques in contemporary practice.

What does it really look like to operate with the robot?

In this clip, Dr. Muffoletto shows how he controls the da Vinci Xi system directly from the surgeon’s console — using 10x magnification, wrist-like instrument control, and full visibility of the surgical field.

With this setup, every movement is deliberate, steady, and 100% under the surgeon’s control.

This is what makes robotic surgery so powerful and so safe!

Recovering from gallbladder surgery? 🩺

✅ Always check with Dr. Muffoletto before resuming activity like driving or heavy lifting.
❌ Don’t rely on timelines from the internet — your clearance should come from your surgeon.

We’re putting the final touches on our first Ask the Surgeon event — and this is your last chance to submit questions.

This session is geared toward referring providers, primary care teams, and clinical staff who want deeper insight into surgical referrals, robotic techniques, and procedural considerations.

Dr. Muffoletto will be answering real, pre-submitted questions during our January 22 live session from 6:30-7:30pm AKST.

👉 Submission deadline is tomorrow: https://johnmuffolettosurgery.com/

Let’s make it a conversation that helps more people feel informed, confident, and heard.

Parathyroid glands help regulate calcium in your body. When one or more of those glands become overactive (a condition called hyperparathyroidism), it can throw off your calcium levels — leading to fatigue, bone loss, kidney stones, and more.

Dr. Muffoletto performed surgery to correct this patient's calcium imbalance, and her results say it all!

It’s expert care — with a personal touch. Call 907-276-1046 to schedule a consult.

This is a MYTH!

Your thyroid health isn’t always obvious on paper.
⠀
Bloodwork plays a key role in spotting thyroid and parathyroid conditions — but it’s not the only thing that matters.

Family history, physical exams, imaging like ultrasounds, and even subtle symptoms (like fatigue or mood changes) can all tell us more about what’s going on beneath the surface.

If you’ve been feeling “off” but your labs are normal, don’t ignore it. A deeper look may give you the answers you’ve been missing.

Just two weeks left until our first Ask the Surgeon LIVE event!

This session is designed for providers — including referring physicians, primary care teams, nurses, and clinic staff — who want practical insight into surgical referrals, robotic techniques, and clinical considerations for hernia and endocrine procedures.

Dr. Muffoletto will present a brief overview, followed by a Q&A.

There's still time to submit your questions. Post them in the comments section under this post or in our event discussion: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HytvdQS8s/

Gallstones are small, hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder - often made of cholesterol or bilirubin. Some people never know they have them. Others feel it fast with sudden pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen after eating, nausea, vomiting or bloating that won't go away.

Gallbladder disease can be treated with robotic gallbladder removal, which is a minimally invasive procedure that offers fast relief, smaller incisions, and smoother recovery.

In this clip, Dr. Muffoletto walks us through the docking process — showing how the robotic system positions itself over the patient with precision and flexibility.

✅ Laser alignment for accurate setup
✅ Smooth movement with multiple degrees of freedom
✅ Rotation around the patient for full access (no need to reposition the robot)

This system is designed for complex procedures that demand visibility, control, and minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
