Operating rooms at Maria Parham Health are going to have an extra set of hands available to assist with surgical procedures when the da Vinci Xi comes on board.
The surgical system, a product of Intuitive, will be able to assist with providing state-of-the-art minimally invasive care across a wide array of procedures, including gynecologic, urology and general surgeries, according to information from MPH Public Information Officer Donna Young.
“Our team is excited to integrate the da Vinci Xi® system into our surgical offerings,” said Bert Beard, CEO at Maria Parham Health. “This innovative technology not only enhances our ability to perform complex surgeries with greater precision but also ensures better outcomes and faster recovery for our patients.”
But the robot, like all members of the surgical team, needs a name, and the community is invited to enter a “Name the Robot” contest. Visit the Maria Parham Health Facebook page and send a private message with your entry – along with your name, phone number and email.
All entries received before Thursday, Sept. 26 will be entered in a drawing to win a pair of tickets to the Sept. 27 “Extreme Illusions & Escapes” show at the Jones Performing Arts Center in Louisburg.
A $100 Amaon gift card will be awarded to the person who comes up with the winning name for the robot. The winner will be announced on Nov. 4 at a “Meet the Robot” event.
Since its introduction in 1999, the da Vinci surgical system has been used in more than 775,000 procedures worldwide, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability as a surgical option for many patients in good health.
The da Vinci Xi® system integrates a sophisticated surgical console with four interactive robotic arms, proprietary EndoWrist® surgical instruments, and a high-definition three-dimensional visual system. This advanced setup allows surgeons to perform complex operations with unmatched precision and control.
The da Vinci system combines the surgeon’s expertise with robotic precision, allowing for tiny, controlled movements that would be difficult to achieve with human hands alone. This enables complex surgeries to be performed through smaller incisions, resulting in less tissue damage and shorter recovery times for patients.
Equipped with four robotic arms and a versatile range of surgical tools, the da Vinci Xi system enhances a surgeon’s ability to perform various procedures, including:
- Appendicitis
- Colon cancer
- Gallbladder disease
- Hernia repair and other soft-tissue surgeries
The minimally invasive nature of da Vinci surgery offers numerous advantages:
- Lower risk of infection
- Reduced blood loss
- Less trauma to surrounding healthy tissue
- Decreased pain
- Smaller scars
- Faster recovery
