Doctors Medical Center now offers the sophisticated, minimally invasive da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System – allowing surgeons to perform gynecological and urologic surgeries with an incision the size of a dime.
The innovative, advanced technology enables the surgeon to perform minimally invasive surgery, thereby enabling patients to recover faster and with fewer adverse side effects. Studies show that most patients whose surgery is performed using the daVinci system may benefit from a shorter hospital stay, reduced risk of infection, less blood loss and, in general, a quicker return to normal, daily activities.For many patients, da Vinci prostatectomy has been shown to substantially reduce post-operative pain while hastening recovery. Studies also indicate that da Vinci prostatectomy may offer improved cancer control along with a lower incidence of impotence and urinary incontinence.
“We are very pleased to introduce robotic surgery to patients in our community and the surrounding areas,” said Dennis Litos, CEO of Doctors Medical Center. “We expect this cutting-edge technique will improve patients’ experiences and become a vital tool in treatment regimes for prostate surgery and invasive gynecological surgery.”
The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System puts a computer in between a surgeon’s hands and the tips of electromechanically enhanced micro instruments. During this type of surgery, the surgeon is comfortably seated at a console a few feet away from the patient while the system seamlessly translates his hand, wrist and finger movements into precise actions of the surgical instruments inside the patient. Throughout the entire process, the surgeon views an actual image of the surgical site, while operating in real-time through tiny incisions. Key benefits of the robotic surgery over the traditional approach include:
• Greater surgical precision
• Increase range of motion
• Improved dexterity
• Enhanced visualization
