Women facing hysterectomy surgery have a new option at UK King’s Daughters Ohio—robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System.

Gynecologist Kelsey James, M.D., recently introduced robotic-assisted hysterectomy at the facility. Dr. James has 20 years of experience with the da Vinci.

“For patients, the da Vinci means quicker recovery, faster return to normal life, and superior outcomes,” said Dr. James.

The da Vinci Surgical System can be used across a spectrum of robotic-assisted surgeries, meaning the surgeon is in complete control, in the areas of gynecology, urology, thoracic, cardiac and general surgery. During these procedures, the da Vinci translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.

The da Vinci Surgical System is an incredibly precise tool that has been optimized for multi-quadrant surgeries where instruments must be able to reach from the pelvis to the chest. The System’s immersive 3D-HD vision system provides surgeons a highly magnified view, allowing them to see detail at a level impossible with the unaided eye.

Dr. James sees patients in Portsmouth and Ashland. For more information, call (740) 529-2351.

For a full list of dates and locations, visit KingsDaughtersHealth.com/flu.

Flu vaccination plays an essential role in protecting your health and reducing the impact of respiratory illnesses in the classroom, and throughout the community. Vaccination is the single best way to protect against the flu. This year’s flu vaccine is fluzone trivalent, protecting against the H1N1, H3N2, and B/Victoria strains.

Flu vaccination is covered at 100% by Medicare, Medicaid and most health insurance plans. Walk-in flu shot clinics do not require an appointment and individuals do not need to be patients in the practice to receive a vaccination. High dose vaccines, recommended for those 65 years and older, are available at all clinics.
