Tucson Medical Center has invested in cutting-edge technology by acquiring three new Da Vinci surgical robots. These advanced robots empower surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgeries with increased precision, leading to shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Colorectal surgeon Stefanie Schluender highlights the benefits of robotic surgery, emphasizing its ability to reduce trauma to patients and enhance surgical outcomes.
Inside the Tucson Medical Center's OR, the surgeons are using brand new technology that helps them perform surgery. The hospital received three new surgical Da Vinci robots this month. The surgeons sit at the surgical console, look through the lens and pinch master controllers that move the surgical instruments. The arms can move, clamp and lift, with one arm as the camera.
The robots are used in many surgeries including bariatrics, gynocology and colorectal surgery. 'This saves us a lot of time and effort and getting in there and being more accurate,” she said. “It also reduces their time in the hospital and their recovery.”The hospital has five robots but received the three new ones in January. “It just different in terms of exposure and trauma to the patient to not create these huge incisions,' she said.
