Pioneering Robotic and Navigational Surgical Technologies

The Mercy Foundation has played a pivotal role in enhancing our surgical capabilities through strategic investments in cutting-edge technologies.

In a landmark fundraising effort, the Foundation raised over $700,000 to bring the renowned da Vinci Robotic Surgical System to Mercy Medical Center. This advanced robotic platform empowers our surgeons to perform complex, minimally invasive procedures with unparalleled precision and control.

Building on this success, Mercy Medical Center has acquired a second da Vinci robot, as well as the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery system. The Mako system uses 3D modeling and robotic guidance to help our orthopedic surgeons execute pre-planned procedures with unmatched accuracy.

Investing in the Future of Surgical Excellence

The Mercy Foundation's ongoing support for our Surgical Services department ensures we can continue investing in innovative technologies, attracting top surgical talent, and delivering world-class outcomes for our patients.

The Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery at Mercy Medical Center

At Mercy Medical Center, we are proud to offer patients the latest advancements in robotic-assisted surgical technology. Our state-of-the-art da Vinci Surgical System empowers our skilled surgeons to perform complex procedures with unparalleled precision and control.

How da Vinci Robotic Surgery Works

During a da Vinci procedure, the surgeon sits at a specialized console situated several feet from the patient. Through a high-definition, 3D visualization system, the surgeon has a detailed view of the surgical site. They then use hand controls to direct the movement of the robotic arms, which replicate their motions on a much smaller scale.

This allows for greater dexterity, flexibility, and accuracy than traditional open or laparoscopic techniques. The robotic arms can access the body through tiny incisions, often just one centimeter in size.

The Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery offers a range of advantages for patients, including:

Reduced blood loss
Smaller incisions and less scarring
Fewer complications
Lower risk of infection
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery times and return to normal activities
