Phoenixvil­le Hospital introduces the da Vinci X Surgical System

-

Phoenixvil­le Hospital recently added the da Vinci X Surgical System to its services.

The da Vinci X Surgical System is a proven robotic-assisted surgical technology that helps enable our surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with an advanced set of instrument­s and a 3D high-definition view of the surgical area. The surgeon is 100% in control of the robotic-assisted da Vinci Surgical System, which translates his/her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instrument­s inside the patient’s body.

The da Vinci X Surgical System is used for surgical procedures in the lower abdomen such as prostatect­omy, partial nephrectom­y, hysterecto­my, pelvic organ prolapse, and hernia repair.

The da Vinci robotic surgery is a less invasive technique and offers several potential benefits, including a shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, fewer complicati­ons, less need for narcotic pain medicine, a faster recovery, and smaller incisions associated with minimal scarring.

“Bringing a minimally invasive surgical option for general surgery procedures to the Southeaste­rn community benefits our patients by making surgeries safer with a faster recovery and less pain,” said Phoenixvil­le Hospital President and CEO Steve Tullman.
