Experience and Expertise at Bartow Regional Medical Center

Our robotic surgeons are highly experienced  and receive extensive training to perform even the most delicate procedures. Our surgeons are experts in performing general and gynecologic robotic procedures using the da Vinci® Surgical System, one of the most sophisticated surgical systems available.

About the Robot

The da Vinci® Surgical System provides an alternative to traditional open surgery and conventional minimally invasive surgery. During a robotic procedure, your surgeon is at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The robotic surgery system enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures with unmatched precision through very small incisions.

The da Vinci Xi Robot is one of our newest robotic machines. It has new visual enhancements such as infrared imaging, and can access any area from any position with even greater range of motion than before.

The sophisticated equipment used for robotic surgery is designed especially to make your surgery as precise as possible. Equipment you’ll see in the operating room:

• Patient cart with four interactive robotic arms: Your surgeon uses these robotic arms to control the procedure. The robotic arms hold the surgical instruments and a high definition camera. Your surgeon will make small incisions and insert the instruments and camera into the operating site.

• Surgeon’s console: This is where your surgeon sits and directs the surgery. The console is in the same room as the operating table, but located a few feet away. The console contains a screen, which shows the high-resolution, 3-D images of the operating site. Although your surgeon isn’t standing over you, he or she can see the operating site even better at the console, due to the high quality of the images.

• EndoWrist® instruments: Your surgeon operates the instruments by using his or her hands and fingers. When your surgeon moves, the instruments respond precisely to those movements, in real-time. EndoWrist instruments work like a human arm, with elbow- and wrist-like movements, but they have a greater range of motion than the human wrist.
