The da Vinci Xi Intuitive robot surgical system is installed in a brand new, purpose-built robotic operating theatre, developed as part of the Gosford Private Hospital $32m re-development. The state-of-the-art, robotic-assisted surgical system is now accessible for patients.
What is the da Vinci Xi?
It is a surgical system which assists surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with an advanced set of instruments and a 3D high-definition view of the surgical field.
How does it work?
It translates the surgeon’s hand movements at the console in real time, allowing intuitive motion which moves like the human hand, but with a greater range of motion, while also providing highly magnified, 3D high-definition views of the surgical area.
Through smaller instrument sizes, it enables surgeons to operate through a few small incisions and the system comprises of a surgeon console, patient cart and vision cart.
What does this mean for Central Coast residents?
It enables local residents the opportunity to stay on the Coast to experience minimally invasive, innovative robotic surgical procedures.
We know with this robotic technology is that our patients experience far less pain associated with surgery.
We also know that recovery and outcomes are greater and more than 95% of patients go home on day one following the surgery. (in cases of robotic prostatectomies)
It can deliver positive outcomes for patients, whether it is for from kidney cancer surgery, partial or complete removal of tumors, or reconstructive bladder and kidney surgeries.
