Memorial Healthcare System has significantly expanded its
robotic surgery program to forward Memorial's commitment to
enhancing patient care, improving surgical outcomes, and advancing
medical education.
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Memorial Healthcare System
is proud to announce a significant expansion of its robotic surgery
program, with the acquisition of seven state-of-the-art Intuitive®
da Vinci Xi® surgical systems being deployed across five of its
hospitals throughout south Broward. This strategic investment marks a
bold step forward in Memorial's commitment to enhancing patient
care, improving surgical outcomes, and advancing medical
education.
"As we nearly double our robotic surgery
program throughout the Memorial Healthcare System, we're not just
adding robots; we're multiplying possibilities for our patients,
surgeons and surgical residents," - Dr. Holly L. Neville
With the addition of the cutting-edge da Vinci Xi® systems,
Memorial will increase access to minimally invasive surgical
procedures for patients across the region, an approach that offers
numerous benefits, including shorter hospital stays, reduced pain
and discomfort, and smaller incisions (resulting in less scarring
and faster recovery times). As a result of the new robotic surgery
equipment available, Memorial system has already increased robotic
surgeries by 22%.
By nearly doubling its robotic surgery program from eight to 15
surgical systems, Memorial is dedicated to increasing availability
and providing patients with advanced treatment options. The
healthcare system's highly skilled pediatric and adult surgeons
will be empowered to perform complex procedures with even greater
precision and dexterity. This means advanced treatment options for
a wide range of medical conditions, including lung, esophagus, and
complex urologic surgeries, gallbladder removal, kidney
transplantation, bariatric surgeries, hernia repairs, and more.
"As we nearly double our robotic surgery program throughout the
Memorial Healthcare System, we're not just adding robots; we're
multiplying possibilities for our patients, surgeons and surgical
residents," said Dr. Holly L.
Neville, Associate Chief Medical Officer and Program
Director of General Surgery Residency at Memorial Healthcare
System. "With each advancement, we're sculpting a future where
precision meets compassion, ensuring patients have access to the
leading care modern medicine can offer."
Robotic surgery is a rapidly evolving field, and hands-on
experience with these advanced technologies is crucial for the next
generation of surgeons. Through mentorship and training programs
facilitated by experienced robotic surgeons, surgical and
gynecological residents will have the opportunity to develop the
skills and expertise necessary to excel in this specialized area of
healthcare. Impressively, Memorial has also acquired training
consoles to allow surgeons and residents to hone their skills in a
simulation setting, ensuring patients get expert care.
Memorial leads in healthcare innovation, continuously seeking
ways to improve patient outcomes, enhance access to care, and
support medical education. The expansion of its robotic surgery
program exemplifies Memorial's dedication to excellence and its
unwavering commitment to serving the needs of the community.
The seven new surgical systems are being utilized at Memorial
Regional Hospital, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Memorial
Hospital West, Memorial Hospital Miramar and Memorial Hospital
Pembroke.
