Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery
The Frank E. & Mary D. Walsh Robotic Surgery Program at Jupiter Medical
Center is one of the most comprehensive programs in the area and offers
the leading technology of the da Vinci® Xi™ and Si™ Surgical
Systems. The recent introduction of the Xi™ system established Jupiter
Medical Center as one of the first facilities in the world to possess
this technology. The da Vinci® Xi™ and Si™ Surgical Systems
are are sophisticatedrobotic platforms designed to enable complex surgery
using a minimally invasive approach. The da Vinci Xi™ and Si™
Systems consists of an ergonomic surgeon’s console, a patient-side
cart with four interactive robotic arms, a highperformance 3D/HD vision
system and proprietary EndoWrist® instruments with Intuitive®
motion. During robotic surgery, the surgeon sits at the system console
next to the patient, and has a 3D view inside the patient’s body
while controlling the robot’s four arms in real time. The system
translates the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger actions into precise
movements with the da Vinci’s miniaturized instruments. Patients
realize tremendous benefit with minimally invasive robotic surgery including
fewer complications, less blood loss, lower risk of infection, shorter
hospital stay, less pain, and faster return to normal quality of life.
“Our investment in the most technologically advanced surgical equipment
available, the da Vinci® Xi™ and Si™ Surgical Systems,
speaks to our commitment to transform patient care,” says Dr. Lee,
“and our desire to build a hopeful future for cancer care in South
Florida.”
Leading-Edge Cancer Care
Our program was one of the first ten in the world to install the da Vinci®
Xi™ Surgical System, the most advanced robotic system available.
Using the da Vinci surgical system enables surgeons to perform delicate
and complex operations through a few tiny incisions with increased vision,
precision, dexterity and control.
Our expertise spans thoracic, gynecologic, urologic and colorectal cancers
with over 20 robotically-skilled surgeons working across eight different
specialties.
