HCA Florida North Florida Hospital’s newest robotic surgery platform is designed to further advance technology used in minimally invasive care. The advanced and integrated platform enables better outcomes and efficiency. This new technology offers:
- Improved accuracy and precision for surgeons
- Next-generation 3D display and image processing
- Advanced data capabilities
- Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery time for patients
- Less surgical pain and fewer complications
This robotic system can be used for minimally invasive surgical procedures for surgical oncology, gynecology and general surgeries.
HCA Healthcare does more robotic-assisted surgery than any other healthcare system — with more than 1 million cases and growing — and our surgeons have led with several robotics “firsts” in the world over the last decade. In addition, we have developed one of the largest databases on robotics surgery. Our investment in technology, number of cases, and constant study of our data helps us deliver some of the most technologically advanced robotic-assisted surgical outcomes in healthcare.
