🚀The future of surgery and healthcare came to life at our recent Technology, Innovation, and Compassion Physician Panel where we discussed the latest developments in robotic surgery and technology at Providence St. Jude Medical Center.
A special feature of the evening was the latest da Vinci 5 surgical system, where guests had the unique opportunity to take it for a test run! This marvel of robotics will revolutionize surgery with key improvements like the introduction of force feedback technology, improved 3D imaging, and enhanced ergonomics for surgeons. For patients, access to these technologies means minimally invasive procedures, less pain, and significantly faster recovery time.
Generous donors enabled Providence St. Jude to acquire the previous generation da Vinci systems, and many of them attended this special event to see what could be in store for the future.
Thank you to Jennifer Venator, Executive Director of Nursing, for moderating and to our esteemed physician panelists:
Dr. Nikolai Bildzukewicz, Foregut Surgery
Dr. Harjivan Kohli, Urology
Dr. Melanie Santos, Urogynecology
