Chesapeake Regional Surgery Center in Virginia Beach, Va., became the first freestanding ASC in the state to perform a minimally invasive outpatient prostatectomy with the da Vinci Si robotic surgical system, Chesapeake Regional Healthcare said Oct. 7.
Michael Fabrizio, MD, performed the robotic radical prostatectomy with the da Vinci Xi robot, which helps surgeons make smaller incisions in minimally invasive surgery, allowing patients to recover faster with less scarring. Dr. Fabrizio's practice, Urology of Virginia, will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2022.
Chesapeake Regional Surgery Center at Virginia Beach is one of two Chesapeake Regional ASCs.
