Advanced Technology Enhances Surgical Care
Our experienced surgeons can use today’s most advanced robotic surgical platforms to perform procedures more efficiently and precisely than ever before. Undergoing a robot-assisted surgery typically means less time in surgery and less time recovering in the hospital after your procedure. Learn more about the benefits of these technologies below
The da Vinci® Surgical System
The da Vinci® Surgical System has 3D vision that magnifies the surgical field up to 10 times, giving surgeons a more detailed view of operating sites than they can see with their eyes alone.
Its robotic arms and instruments help surgeons work with tissue from angles and positions that can be very difficult to access. More steady than human hands, the arms are controlled by a surgeon at a console next to the patient. And the da Vinci instruments are even more precise than laparoscopic tools, allowing our surgeons to perform complex gynecological, urological, thoracic and general surgical procedures.
Synaptive Modus V System
AdventHealth Tampa is one of the first facilities in the southeastern U.S. to use the Synaptive Modus V system (which uses NASA technology) to treat brain cancer. Modus V is a robotic digital microscope that seamlessly combines advanced engineering with the latest breakthroughs in optics, video processing and robotic automation to give surgeons incredible visibility and precision during intricate procedures.
Mako SmartRoboticsTM
At AdventHealth Tampa, we perform total hip and knee surgeries using the Mako SmartRoboticsTM System. Its innovative technology is up to three times more precise than traditional methods and allows orthopedic surgeons to better plan for surgery, increase precision, and remove problematic bone and tissue while keeping healthy areas safe.
ROSA® Brain System
Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA®) is like a GPS system for the brain and can be used for any cranial procedure. ROSA assists us by using image guidance and steadily holding surgical tools. The platform also gives the surgeon enhanced dexterity and access while using the smallest possible incisions.
Operating Room Technology
The Taneja Center for Surgery at AdventHealth Tampa includes 18 brand new, state-of-the-art surgical operating rooms, each equipped with advanced technology, including a negative pressure operating room and disinfecting lighting to ensure a sterile environment.
