Southwest Healthcare System’s Rancho Springs Medical Center reached a milestone as the 300th da Vinci Surgical Procedure was performed within the first year of the robot’s existence at the hospital.
“We want to congratulate all of the surgeons, operating room staff and support personnel for an amazing first year. The amount of procedures performed in our first year is evidence of just how much our communities needed and wanted this kind of incredible technology”, stated Rancho Springs CEO, Brad Neet.
The da Vinci® Si™ has several unique features designed to provide additional clinical benefits and efficiency in the operating room, many of which translate to patient benefits. Features of the da Vinci® Si™ Surgical System include:
• Enhanced 3D, high definition vision of operative field with up to 10 times magnification
• Surgical dexterity and precision far greater than even the human hand
• Less blood loss, quicker recovery, less pain
