Palmetto General Hospital is one of few Miami-Dade County hospitals and the first in Hialeah to offer robotic-assisted surgery. This advanced technology enables procedures to be performed minimally invasively with great precision. Using the
da Vinci® Surgical System
/da Vinci® SI™ System,Palmetto surgeons are performing urological, gynecological, as well as other general surgical procedures.
For patients, overall benefit of robotic surgery may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- Faster return to normal daily activities
- And in many cases, better clinical outcomes.
In the late 1990s, robotic-assisted surgery was introduced with the da Vinci Surgical System at the forefront. This technology makes it possible to perform complex surgeries, in a broad range of specialties, using small incisions and special instruments and visualization rather than large open incisions.
Guided by a computer, the robotic hands can do surgical tasks beyond the capabilities of human hands or the laparoscope. Robotic surgery places a computer between the surgeon's hands and electromechanically-enhanced, micro instruments.
