AdventHealth North Pinellas Introduces Da Vinci Robot

From AdventHealth North Pinellas: AdventHealth North Pinellas is the latest hospital in the West Florida Division to integrate the innovative da Vinci® Xi robot into the operating room.

Surgeons trained on the da Vinci systems can view the surgical site using magnified 3D HD technology, allowing them to make more precise adjustments during colon, cardiology, bariatric and gynecological procedures, just to name a few. Robotic surgeries mean less blood loss, less pain, less risk of infection, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery for patients.

AdventHealth North Pinellas will use the da Vinci® Xi to perform general, urology, colorectal and thoracic surgeries. AdventHealth North Pinellas Surgeon Dr. Raj Kotak was the first to use the robot on January 3 during a successful gallbladder surgery.

“Adding the da Vinci® Xi to our operating rooms enhances the quality of care we provide to our patients,” said Jason Dunkel, President and CEO of AdventHealth North Pinellas. “We have some of the brightest medical minds healing our community and we’re excited to have this state-of-the-art technology to ensure our patients are receiving the best care possible, while alleviating any additional down time following surgery.”

AdventHealth is committed to investing in the most advanced technology and innovation to provide exceptional, whole-person care to every patient, every time.
