ROBOTICS
Thanks to breakthrough surgical technology, minimally invasive robotic surgery was born and Holy Cross was one of the first hospitals to perform it. Through the use of robotic surgical systems, surgeons are able to perform complex surgical procedures with minimal pain, shorter recovery times and minimal scarring.
Two of these breakthrough technologies available at Holy Cross Hospital are being utilized in orthopedics, cardiac, urology and gynecology: the da Vinci S® Surgical System and MAKO´s Haptic Guidance System™.
Holy Cross was also the first hospital in the world to offer MAKOplasty®, a minimally invasive knee surgery that helps surgeons remove and replace only the portion of a patient's knee that is damaged by osteoarthritis. Now doctors at Holy Cross are utilizing the next generation of the robotic arm system by MAKO Surgical Corp, the RIO MAKO® Robotic Arm System.
