Broward Health has completed the acquisition of five robotic da Vinci Surgical Systems. This $7.2 million investment in late 2018 was part of numerous capital improvement projects across the health system, including the completion of the $65 million Broward Health Coral Spring tower, which now offers robotic surgery.
“Surgeons recognize the value of robotic technology for patient outcomes,” said Andrew Ta, M.D., chief medical officer, Broward Health. “It is Broward Health’s privilege to offer patients the highest standard of care possible. We accomplish this by providing our physicians with the most advanced cutting-edge tools and technology, such as the da Vinci Xi.”
The most recent addition to Broward Health’s robotics portfolio includes leasing four of the latest da Vinci Xi models, two of which were installed at Broward Health Coral Springs and one each at Broward Health Medical Center and Broward Health Imperial Point. Broward Health North bought back a lease for an additional da Vinci.
Broward Health was one of the early adopters of robotic surgery, first unveiling da Vinci Surgical Systems at Broward Health Medical Center more than a decade ago. Since that time, research has highlighted the possible benefits of robotic surgery, including fewer complications, less pain, less noticeable scars and faster recoveries. Now, due to Broward Health’s further expansion into the latest robotic options, patients in Broward County will have access to more precise surgical interventions.
