The single-port robotic system is the latest iteration of robotic technology that allows surgeons across multiple specialties to perform complex procedures with more camera visibility, precision and maneuverability through a single incision. Benefits of using the robot can include rapid recovery, reduced scarring, and improved quality outcomes for patients.
Broward Health leaders were joined by physicians and caregivers to mark the significant acquisition.
The da Vinci single-port robotic surgical system offers versatility for different procedures including urology and trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) procedures.
