Bon Secours Brings the Next Generation of Surgery to Hampton Roads

Bon Secours continues to bring the latest in health care to our patients.  Now, robotics and computer technology work together with the da Vinci® Surgical System as the only operative surgical robot that has been deemed safe and effective by the United States Food and Drug Administration for actually performing surgery.

By integrating robotic technology with the surgeon’s skill, the da Vinci™ System enables surgeons to perform precise minimally invasive (MIS) surgery in a manner never before experienced to help patients recover quickly. The da Vinci® Surgical System is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology. The System allows your surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of micro-instruments within the operative site. The magnified, three-dimensional view the surgeon experiences enables him to perform precise surgery in complex procedures through small surgical incisions.

          Patient benefits may include:

• Reduced pain and trauma to the body
• Less blood loss and need for transfusions
• Less post-operative pain and discomfort
• Less risk of infection
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster recovery and return to work
• Less scarring

As a result, Minimally Invasive Surgery reduces trauma to the patient by allowing surgeries to be performed through small rather than large incisions, resulting in shorter recovery times, fewer complications and reduced hospitalization costs.  The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is currently being used for urology and uro-gynecology procedures.  It will soon also be used for cardiothoracic surgery
