The robot installed at Saint Joseph Hospital in August 2007 was the first da
Vinci S, high-definition system in Kentucky.
The da Vinci provides
surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional
laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art
robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most
complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched
precision.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition
that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your
medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical
treatments available.
For the
patient, benefits may include:
The da Vinci uses a
powerful camera that provides a magnified, 3-D image for the surgeon,
who sits in a console during the procedure.
