Advancements in medical technology continue to grow every and every day, bringing amazing new solutions to patients in need around the world – and now, right here in Southeast Volusia County! In particular, New Smyrna Beach is now finding itself right at the forefront of a technological revolution in healthcare, as cutting-edge advancements in surgical robotics and minimally invasive procedures are transforming patient outcomes and attracting top medical talent to our region.
As a recent game-changer in medical progress, AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach introduced the da Vinci Xi® surgical system this year – a feat that solidified our region's position as a frontrunner in the world of medical technology. Read on to learn more about what this new tool brings to our medical community, and how Southeast Volusia is poised to drive even further medical advancement in the near future.
The use of robots in the medical field might seem futuristic and unfamiliar to many, but surgical robots right here in New Smyrna Beach are modernizing health care, granting countless benefits to surgeons and patients alike.
The da Vinci Xi® is a technological marvel that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through tiny incisions, using miniature robotic arms that are controlled by the surgeon's skilled hands. New tools like the Xi® are always ready to conquer even the toughest medical battles with unprecedented precision, control, and finesse.
At the same time, utilizing surgical robots allows those smaller incisions and an overall less-invasive surgery, which can mean a smaller impact to the human body and less complications involved with procedures. Tools like the Xi® will likely result in much-improved surgical outcomes for patients and less time spent on hospital stays, too.
The first procedure performed with this robotic system in our community was a hernia repair – but that procedure is just the tip of the iceberg for robotically-assisted surgery. This cutting-edge technology isn't limited to general surgery; it's a game-changer for a wide range of specialties, including gynecology, urology, and beyond. This level of surgical prowess was once the stuff of science fiction, but now it’s a reality in our very own backyard.
