Doctors at mosaic life care unveiled a new program that they say brings top level surgical options to our area through robotics.
We got the chance to see that new technology this morning, as well as speak to the doctors that brought it here and some patients who've already benefited from robotic surgery.
<<ron johnson reporting it's state of the art medical technology, now available in st.
Joseph it's very precise robotic surgery with the latest davinci robot system.
Doctors at mosaic life care through phoenix urology have started a new robotics center at the hospital.
Aiming to bring robotic surgery to our neck of the woods.we've been taking care care of patients that need reconstructive surgery as well as cancer surgeries, protate cancerone of their most advanced tools called the davinci system demonstrates the advantages of robotic surgery.
Controlled by a doctor, the system makes a variety of surgical jobs much less invasive.
We're using robotic arms that can move like your fingers and hands.the big benefits of it are less blood loss and quicker recovery time.
We can see the margins of where tumors and cancers are much easier with this type of system.you can probably imagine that's good news for the patients, those who've had a robotic surgery procedure say less invasive also means less risk.you don't have the risk of infections setting in that you would have from the traditional surgeries, it's just so much better i had my surgery on march 6th late afternoon went home the next day, i was up walking that night.
Doctors say this technology is already a hospitals serving communities not just larger than st.
Joseph but smaller as well.
They say they're glad to finally bring it here.
We're just so excited to finally get it to this area to be able to offer it to our patients and not have them have to leave our community to get something done.>> doctors say thetechnology behind this robotic surgery has been around for 20 years with many revisions.
The davinci system at the hospital is currently the most advanced.
