With today’s emphasis on minimally invasive surgery, robotic technology is becoming more commonplace in hospital operating rooms. Catholic Health was one of the first area providers to offer this advanced equipment, with the debut of the da Vinci® Surgical System at Mercy Hospital in 2005. Five years later, Sisters Hospital welcomed the newest generation of this technology to its Main Street Campus.
Recently, Catholic Health bolstered its robotic surgery program with the arrival of a da Vinci® System at Sisters Hospital, St. Joseph Campus. For patients, the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery are clear – less pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays, quicker recoveries and fewer complications.
“Our minimally invasive surgery program has grown to the point that we needed a second da Vinci® system,” said Peter U. Bergmann, president & CEO of Sisters Hospital. “By bringing this technology to St. Joseph Campus, we are able to enhance our surgical capabilities at this site and offer this advanced care to more patients throughout our community.”
OB/GYN specialists Ali Ghomi, MD, director of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Sisters Hospital, and Pankaj Singhal, MD, and bariatric surgeon, Dang Tuan Pham, MD, are using the da Vinci® system for a number of gynecologic and bariatric procedures. In the coming months, more surgeons will be offering advanced urologic and general surgery procedures at St. Joseph Campus.
