The Center for Robotic Surgery at South Miami Hospital offers a revolutionary approach to minimally invasive surgery. The robot makes complex operations more precise and less traumatic by electronically enhancing surgeons’ vision and extending their hands into the patient’s body from a control console away from the operating room table.
The most important asset to the Center for Robotic Surgery is our team, one of the most experienced in the nation in robotic surgery. Our specially trained, Board-certified surgeons have used the robot to perform more than 3,500 various surgical procedures since 2006. Additionally, our surgical team – the nurses, anesthesiologists and surgical techs – are also specially trained to support the patient and the needs of the surgeon performing robotic surgery. From gynecologic to weight-loss to lung surgery, we offer multiple uses of the robot and our team’s experience is unmatched. That means assurance that no matter what robotic surgery you need, you will get a highly-skilled surgeon and surgical team who are helping to revolutionize minimally invasive surgery.
In fact, several of our surgeons are considered pioneers in robotic surgery. They have developed new ways to use the robot and are teaching other surgeons throughout the world how to perform robotic surgery safely and effectively.
Only you and your doctor can decide if robotic surgery is right for you.
