Da Vinci Robotic Surgery
Newman Regional Health is equipped with the latest robotic-assisted surgical equipment, the da Vinci Xi robotic surgery system. This state-of-the-art device provides patients with less-invasive surgery and faster recovery.
Robotic technology does not replace the skills of a highly trained surgeon, but it enhances their ability to perform complex procedures with greater precision and less invasiveness than open surgery. Working from a bedside console in the operating room, your surgeon uses controls to execute tremor-free, intricate movements of surgical instruments at the end of high-tech surgical arms. The tools attached to the arms are mounted on robotic wrists that allow for 360° movement. The system also allows the surgeon to enhance their view of the surgical field by engaging various tools and a crystal-clear 3D high definition monitor with up to 10 power magnification.
Benefits of da Vinci Xi robotic surgery
