Cabell Huntington Hospital was the first to bring da Vinci® robotic surgery to the region in 2006 and has performed numerous surgeries, perfecting the brilliance of minimally invasive technology. The community is invited to see and experience how our surgeons provide treatment in the operating room through a hands-on demonstration.
The da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System provides surgeons with unparalleled precision, dexterity and control. It consists of three main parts: the surgeon’s console, which includes a video screen, hand controls and foot pedals; the laparoscopic tower; and a separate bedside cart that is equipped with four arms, one is a camera and three are instruments. Representatives from Intuitive Surgical will be on-hand to demonstrate this robotic surgical system and its benefits and allow individuals to operate the machine just like a surgeon.
The da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical Systems offers:
- Enhanced 3D, high-definition vision of the operative field with up to 10x magnification
- A dual console allowing a second surgeon to assist
- Superior visual clarity of tissue and anatomy
- Surgical dexterity and precision far greater than even the human hand
- New ergonomic settings for greater physician comfort
CHH has the latest technology and robotic procedures now include hysterectomy (benign and malignant), thoracic lung cases, colon, hernia, Nissen (acid reflux surgery), spleen, prostate and kidney and specialty procedures in Gynecology and Gynecologic oncology, general surgery, surgical oncology urology and thoracic.
Physicians and clinicians are invited to participate in a ‘test drive’ on Monday, June 6, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Marshall Atrium. Learn how this amazing technology is providing surgeons with more precise control and greater access to hard-to-reach areas, allowing extremely complex operations to be performed through dime-size incisions.
