Adventist Medical Center's skilled surgical teams have earned state-wide recognition for their outstanding quality outcomes. Our newly built operating rooms are equipped with the latest diagnostic and surgical technology, designed with high-level patient care and safety in mind.

The da Vinci robot (view press release) enables complex surgeries to be completed using a minimally invasive approach. The approach minimizes the physical and emotional impact of surgery on patients resulting in increased quality outcomes.

Some of the major benefits experienced by surgeons using the da Vinci Surgical System over traditional approaches have included greater surgical precision, increased range of motion, improved dexterity, enhanced visualization and improved access. Benefits experienced by patients have included a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss, fewer transfusions, less scarring, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal daily activities.

The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System will transform the way certain procedures are done at Adventist Medical Center. Initially, urology and gynecology services will be the focus of Adventist Health's da Vinci robot, though the robotic technology has clinical applications for many other surgical specialties in the future.

The surgeon, via a master hand control and magnified view screen system, is able to manipulate various surgical instruments mounted on robotic arms that can fit inside small spaces. Through the high resolution 3-D stereo viewer, anatomy appears at high magnification with a natural depth of field.
