Â鶹¹ÙÍø is proud to hold the Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence designation from the Surgical Review Corporation. This prestigious national designation recognizes Â鶹¹ÙÍø for delivering the highest standard of robotic surgical care across multiple specialties, including urology, gynecology, cardiothoracic and general surgery. As the only organization in the Inland Northwest to earn this designation, you can be confident the care you receive here is among the best in the nation.
Â鶹¹ÙÍø¡¯s specially trained surgeons use state-of-the-art robotics to perform the most advanced forms of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques.
Minimally invasive robotic surgery often results in:
- Shorter hospitalization
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Faster recovery time and return to normal activities
- Smaller incisions, resulting in reduced risk of infection
- Reduced blood loss and transfusions
- Minimal scarring
Da Vinci Robot
The da Vinci Surgical System allows the surgeon to manipulate robotic arms and instruments from a seated position. The technology provides the surgeon with a high definition 3D magnified, 3-D view of the target anatomy. The surgeon¡¯s eyes and hands are within the console and the surgeon’s hand movements control the four interactive robotic arms, instruments and camera. The surgeon¡¯s hand, wrist and finger movements translate to precise movements inside the abdominal cavity.
Advantages include:
- Precision of movement
- Increased range of motion
- Decreased physician fatigue
- Enhanced visibility, including areas unable to be seen by the naked eye
- Access to hard to reach areas
Surgeons specializing in gynecology, urology, cardiothoracic surgery and general surgery perform more than 1,000 procedures at Â鶹¹ÙÍø each year. Their experience and expertise help ensure patients here have the best outcomes possible with less pain, quicker recoveries, and a reduced risk of infection.
If you need surgery, ask your physician about robotic surgery to see if it could be right for you.
