The University of Maryland Medical Center, a pioneer in the area of minimally invasive surgery, has acquired the newest, most advanced version of computer-enhanced robotic technology, called the da Vinci S Surgical System. Robotic surgery provides increased dexterity, precision and control for surgeons, and benefits patients because it requires only small incisions and significantly reduces patients’ recovery times.
Medical center robotic surgeons are using the robot to perform prostate cancer surgery (prostatectomy) and totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass surgery (TECAB), respectively.
