Patients needing radical prostatectomy and other delicate surgery in New Zealand have access to the latest technology with a minimally invasive surgical robot at Ascot Hospital in Auckland.
MercyAscot today has invested in the da Vinci Surgical System from Device Technologies, a robotic platform that allows a surgeon to control robotic arms from a console and operate through tiny incisions. The results achieved with this type of surgery include less pain, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.
New Zealanders seeking this state of the art technology will no longer have to travel overseas to receive treatment. The da Vinci system will also available for gynaecological surgeries such as hysterectomies. Once gynaecologists have undergone training they will also be able to offer robotic surgery as an option to their patients.
