1:47:10  - 3 years ago
OR-Live.com presented a Webcast of a da Vinci (robotic) Radical Hysterectomy, broadcast live from N.C. Women's Hospital at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, on February 22, 2006. The minimally invasive procedure was performed using the da Vinci (robotic) Surgical System, and included a radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for the treatment of cervical cancer. Dr. John Boggess, Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Fellowship Program Director, Division of Gynecologic Oncology at UNC School of Medicine performed the procedure. For this innovative procedure, Dr. Boggess will use da Vinci (NASDAQ: ISRG), a breakthrough robotic system designed to transcend the limitations of both open surgery and laparoscopy, expanding the surgeon’s capabilities and offering patients a minimally invasive option for many complex procedures. With da Vinci surgery, patients can experience significantly less pain, less blood loss, a much quicker recovery and faster return to normal daily activities.
