Flushing Hospital and the da Vinci Robot Celebrate the Big 100!

100th case IMG_0218The prestigious team of surgeons at Flushing Hospital Medical Center is moving full speed ahead in performing surgeries with the assistance of the da Vinci surgical robot.  This specially trained group of physicians has successfully completed an impressive 100 plus procedures in just a few months.

The da Vinci was acquired late last year with the objective of providing advanced surgical services to the community.   Surgeries performed by utilizing the machine offer patients several benefits such as shorter hospital stays, minimal scarring, less bleeding and pain.

Members of the surgical team are pleased with the early success of the robotic surgery program. They are looking forward to treating more patients through robotic technology.

Flushing Hospital is planning future outreach campaigns to inform the community that several technologically advanced medical services are being provided by their neighborhood hospital and they do not have to venture far to seek treatment.
