daVinci® Surgical Robot, Changing the Experience of Surgery at Baptist Medical Center

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.

Baptist was the first hospital in Mississippi to acquire the daVinci® Surgical System. And, the first to acquire the state's second robot, The daVinci-S Surgical System. It is the most advanced robotic surgical system available. The daVinci-S provides surgeons with enhanced features including an interactive video display, lower profile arms and greater mobility.

The daVinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

For the patient, benefits may include:

• significantly less pain
• less blood loss
• less scarring
• shorter recovery time
• a faster return to normal daily activities
• in many cases, a better clinical outcome
