- Minimally Invasive Robotic Bronchoscopy
-
AdventHealth Waterman is the only hospital in Lake County now offering a robotic-assisted platform for minimally invasive lung biopsies. The Ion Endoluminal System is made by Intuitive and represents an advancement in the existing approaches to lung biopsy by allowing physicians to obtain tissue samples from deep within the lung, addressing a challenging aspect of a lung biopsy.
When it comes to lung biopsies, precision and efficiency is key. We’re dedicated to ensuring that biopsies are safe and simple, and effective. Patients can have possible lung cancer diagnosed and staged in one procedure.
The Ion Robotic Bronchoscopic Platforms offers:
- An ultra-thin, highly maneuverable catheter that enables doctors to navigate far into the peripheral lung
- Unprecedented stability increases the precision needed for biopsy compared to previous techniques
- Combined with advanced imaging, we can confirm the target is reached in real time, further increasing accuracy and safety.
- The physician uses the controller to navigate to the target anywhere in the lung along a planned path
- Ion’s peripheral vision probe provides direct vision during navigation
- Vast majority of patients go home the same day
Our streamlined biopsy process is designed to improve your experience and make your care more convenient. All pre-procedure tests (including labs and CT scans) are completed the same day as your robotic procedure. This means that you will most likely only need to visit the hospital once.
- Robotic-Assisted Heart Surgery for Better Outcomes
-
At AdventHealth Waterman, we’re one of the only programs in Florida to offer robotic-assisted complex heart surgeries. Using the state-of-the-art da Vinci® surgical system, our dedicated surgeons and specially trained teams provide this innovative solution to improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital stays by more than 60% on average.
New Options for More People
Robotic-assisted surgery opens the door for you to get the care you deserve if traditional, open-heart surgery isn’t an option. You now have access to explore alternative treatment methods beyond long-term medication.
Benefits That Make All the Difference
We value our patients' surgical experiences, and that’s why we continue to offer leading-edge technology. Robotic-assisted surgery provides quicker surgery-to-discharge times, averaging three days. You can also expect a faster recovery, minimal scarring, reduced pain and a lower risk of infection.
Advanced Robotic Technologies We Use
Our surgeons use the latest robotic-assisted surgical technologies to ensure faster recovery and greater healing. Robotic-assisted procedures mean better precision for our surgeons, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays and higher patient success rates.
The da Vinci® Surgical System
The da Vinci® Surgical System is a robotic technology that gives surgeons greater precision, allowing access from multiple angles and positions. Steadier than human hands, the robotic arms are controlled by a surgeon at a console next to the patient. The da Vinci® instruments allow our surgeons to perform complex gynecological, urological, thoracic and general surgical procedures.
Ion Endoluminal System
The Ion Endoluminal System revolutionizes respiratory disease diagnosis and treatment, especially in bronchoscopies. It enhances visualization and improves tissue sampling, enabling more precise treatment of lung-related conditions which results in better patient outcomes and respiratory health management.
Mako® Robotic-Arm-Assisted Technology
Mako® is an advanced orthopedic surgery option that offers a more predictable surgical experience for joint replacement, often resulting in shorter hospital stays and fewer complications than traditional surgery. Our surgeons can complete procedures with greater precision and smaller incisions. With faster recovery times, many patients can walk just a few hours after treatment, and most are out of the hospital in one to three days.
Expert Care. Leading-Edge Technology. Surgical Care You Can Count On
When you need surgery, whether it’s urgent or elective, rely on our expert surgeons to provide the care you need.
