Stamford Town Center Hosts daVinci Robotic Surgical System Demonstration
Where: Stamford Town Center
What: daVinci Robotic Surgical System Demonstrationon
When: Saturday, September 26 from 1-7pm
For anyone interested in learning more about DaVinci surgery for the treatment of women’s health conditions, I urge you to stop by The Stamford Town Center this Saturday between 1 and 7pm. I will be demonstrating the DaVinci surgical system along with Urologist, Jonathan E. Bernie, M.D., Chief of Robotic Surgery at Norwalk Hospital.
DaVinci Surgery Demo at Stamford Town Center
The community health education event, “Learn about Advanced Robotic Surgery,” is being offered as a public service by Norwalk Hospital to provide information about the new and expanding field of robotic surgery in the treatment of both prostate cancer and women’s health conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis and pelvic organ prolapse. I’ll be joined by other Norwalk Hospital doctors and patients who will answer questions.
Before this breakthrough, traditional laparoscopy has never become widely applied outside a limited set of routine procedures.. The robot allows us to view anatomical structures clearly and perform a precise surgical procedure through small incisions. With the daVinci Surgical System we can perform complex procedures using a minimally invasive approach with confidence.
Many surgical procedures performed today using standard laparoscopic technique may be performed more quickly and easily using the daVinci Surgical System. This is because robotic surgery delivers increased clinical capability while maintaining the same “look and feel” of open surgery.
Robotic surgery enhances surgical capabilities and can improve clinical outcomes. Research has shown that patients experience less blood loss and need for transfusions, less post-operative pain and discomfort, less risk of infection, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery and return to normal daily activities.
For more information about robotic surgery, please attend the September 26th event at the Stamford Town Center off of Exit 8 on I-95, or call the Norwalk Hospital Community Relations Department at (203) 852-2250.
