A surgical team at Onslow Memorial Hospital will be the first to perform robotic surgery there this week.
The hospital recently debuted the latest model of the da Vinci Surgical Robot System. And two doctors are ready to put the robot to work for the first time after completing intense training. Charles Marshal Webb and Takey Crist, specializing in obstetrics-gynecology, and their surgical team will perform a hysterectomy with the robot on Friday.
“This is the future of surgery … with this, the patient will be out of the hospital within a few hours, will have almost no blood loss and she will have a much faster recovery time,” Webb said.
A routine hysterectomy typically requires a large abdominal incision and the patient would spend between four and five days in the hospital with two to four weeks for recovery, said Crist.
