Physicians at the Tustin, Calif.-based miVIP Orange County Multispecialty Surgery Center completed the1,000th robotic surgeries with the da Vinci Xi Surgical System this month.
Key details:
1. The ASC specializes in minimally invasive robotic surgery, where physicians use the da Vinci system for gynecology conditions, hernia and prostate cancer surgeries.
2. The miVIP ASC is part of a network that also has locations in Nevada, Florida and New York.
3. Orly Benyaminy, vice president of miVIP West Coast said, "This robotic technology takes laparoscopic surgery to the next level, allowing for incisions no bigger than a dime to minimize damage to the tissues surrounding the surgical site. For patients undergoing surgery, this means a lower risk of complications, less pain, a shorter recovery time and the best possible outcome."
