GALLERY of the “da Vinci® Surgical System”
From Jones Memorial Hospital,
Jones Memorial Hospital announces the addition of the da Vinci® Surgical System, a state-of-the-art robotic-assisted technology designed to provide patients with a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. This advanced system, now available for procedures like hernia and gallbladder surgeries, as well as certain obstetric procedures, enhances surgeons precision and control, leading to faster recovery times and improved patient outcomes.
The da Vinci® Surgical System, known as the gold standard in robotic surgery, allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through just one to two centimeter incisions. Using a high-definition 3D camera and miniaturized instruments, the system enables surgeons to operate with unmatched accuracy, reducing the risk of complications and minimizing recovery time.
“We are proud to bring world-class surgical precision right here to our community as a healthcare leader in our region,” said Jim Helms, CEO of Jones Memorial Hospital. “We are committed to investing in advanced healthcare, close to home for our patients and their families. This addition furthers our vision as the hospital of choice for medical staff and the community.”
Dr. Theodor Kaufman is a General Surgeon at Jones Memorial Hospital that shared his enthusiasm about this new technology. “The da Vinci® system is a huge win for both surgeons and patients. It gives us, as surgeons, the ability to perform intricate surgeries with enhanced precision, all while being minimally invasive. Patients experience less pain, and a faster recovery, with less risk for infection or complications. We’re excited for the applications this will have on both general and gynecological procedures.”
Jones Memorial Board Chairman, Karol Marciano added, “It is impressive that our community hospital can now offer this surgical technology which is critical to physician recruitment.”
“We’re proud to bring the advanced technologies of the da Vinci® Surgical System to Jones Memorial Hospital, and offer state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgeries to patients in Allegany County and beyond,” said UR Medicine Chief of Strategic Integration Steven I. Goldstein. “Not only does it further our ability to provide the highest quality care, but it is an important tool to attract surgeons to the area, as robotic techniques are taught in medical school and new surgeons are often eager to work in hospitals with advanced robotic technologies.”
Benefits of da Vinci® Surgery:
– Smaller Incisions: Reduced scarring, pain, and recovery time.
– Enhanced Precision: Magnified 3D visuals and precise instruments help avoid damage to delicate structures.
– Less Invasive: Shorter hospital stays and lower risk of infection.
