Robotic Surgery with the da Vinci S HD at Aventura Hospital and Medical Center
The Development of Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) allows physicians to perform many kinds of major surgery with less patient trauma and pain, minimal scarring, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. Surgeries are performed through small incisions, which replace the large incisions needed for conventional open surgeries.
The use of robotics takes minimally invasive techniques into a new era, further minimizing the physical and emotional impact of surgery on patients. Robotically-assisted MIS represents a third generation of surgery, one which builds upon the advances to open surgery introduced by MIS. Robotic technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement combined with three-dimensional visualization of the operative site.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
The benefits of MIS are numerous. Traditional surgery often requires a lengthy hospital stay and weeks of recovery. With minimally invasive surgery, the goal is to accomplish internal repair while leaving the body surface as natural as it was prior to surgery. Many procedures require only several days in the hospital and promote reduced recovery time. Patients can often get back to their normal routines more quickly.
Robotics and Procedural Innovation
The da Vinci S HD Surgical System at Aventura Hospital and Medical Center is the only S HD System currently being used in Miami-Dade County for aortic (mitral) valve repair, hysterectomy, and prostatectomy surgical procedures. The da Vinci S HD with 3 HD vision is the most advanced platform for minimally invasive surgery available today. By integrating computer-enhanced technology with the surgeon’s skill, the da Vinci S HD Surgical System enables surgeons to enhance healing and promote well-being by performing minimally invasive surgery in a manner never before experienced.
The da Vinci S HD Surgical System integrates 3D HD endoscopy and state-of-the-art robotic technology to virtually extend the surgeon’s eyes and hands into the surgical field. Only the da Vinci System enables new, minimally invasive options for complex surgical procedures.
