Abrazo Central Campus has acquired its second da Vinci XI surgical system, expanding its capacity to offer minimally invasive procedures with enhanced precision and control.
The system is designed to assist surgeons in performing complex operations through small incisions, which can lead to reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, less blood loss and faster recovery times, according to a press release.
“The da Vinci XI highlights our commitment to utilizing advanced technology and tools to provide the highest level of care to our community,” said Gregory Pearson, CEO of Abrazo Central Campus. “Our patients have access to state-of-the-art care with the potential for better outcomes and a quicker return to their daily lives.”
Key features of the da Vinci XI system include:
3D high-definition vision: Surgeons receive a magnified, high-definition 3D view of the surgical field for improved visualization and depth perception.
Enhanced dexterity and control: Wristed instruments bend and rotate beyond the capability of the human hand, with tremor-filtration technology for precise movements.
Multi-quadrant access: The system’s overhead instrument arm architecture allows access to all four quadrants of the abdomen and chest without repositioning the patient.
The da Vinci XI is used across multiple specialties, including general surgery, urology, gynecology and thoracic procedures. Surgeons undergo specialized training to operate the robotic platform.
“Our focus is always on patient care,” said Dr. Varun Chakravorty, chief of staff at Abrazo Central Hospital.
“The addition of this robot helps us accommodate the growing number of surgeons who want to be part of the Abrazo family and meet the increasing surgical needs in the community. The da Vinci XI reinforces our mission to invest in our community by providing exceptional healthcare and remaining at the forefront of surgical innovation.”
