Robotic Assisted Surgery in South Florida

What Is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that allows doctors to perform complex procedures using small instruments and a high-definition camera. The surgeon controls the robotic system from a console, guiding robotic arms that hold tiny surgical tools.

This technology allows for highly precise movements and a detailed view of the surgical area. For many patients, robotic surgery may mean smaller incisions, less pain and a faster recovery compared with traditional open surgery.

Advanced Robotic Surgery at Broward Health

Broward Health offers advanced robotic surgery for many different conditions. Our surgeons use robotic technology to perform complex procedures with a high level of precision and control.

Robotic surgery is used across several specialties at Broward Health, including:

Because robotic surgery is minimally invasive, many patients experience smaller incisions, less pain and a faster recovery compared with traditional open surgery. Your surgeon can talk with you about whether robotic-assisted surgery may be the right option for your care.

A Leader in Robotic Surgical Innovation

Broward Health has been performing robotic surgery for nearly 15 years and has completed more than 6,700 robotic-assisted procedures.

This experience allows our surgical teams to perform complex procedures with a high level of precision while helping many patients recover faster with minimally invasive techniques.

Our hospitals continue to invest in advanced surgical technology to expand access to minimally invasive procedures and improve patient outcomes.

Broward Health Provides Surgical Excellence

At Broward Health, robotic surgery programs follow the accreditation standards of the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), an organization that recognizes hospitals and surgeons committed to high-quality surgical care.

SRC accreditation requires hospitals to meet strict standards, including:

Delivering safe and effective patient care
Using proven processes to improve outcomes
Following evidence-based methods to reduce complications
Undergoing rigorous assessment and inspection

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery

Broward Health Medical Center and Broward Health Coral Springs offer advanced robotic surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System, one of the most widely used robotic platforms in modern surgery. This technology allows surgeons to perform complex procedures using tiny instruments and a high-definition 3D camera.

Both hospitals offer the da Vinci 5, the newest generation of this robotic platform. The system helps surgeons operate with greater precision and control during minimally invasive procedures.

For many patients, da Vinci robotic surgery may mean smaller incisions, less pain and a faster recovery compared with traditional surgery.

Robotic Treatment for Enlarged Prostate

Broward Health offers Aquablation therapy, an advanced robotic treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate.

Aquablation uses a precise robotic waterjet to remove excess prostate tissue while helping protect surrounding structures that control urinary and sexual function.

We use the HYDROS robotic system, the newest generation of Aquablation technology, to help surgeons perform the procedure with greater precision.

Robotic Technology for Lung Nodule Diagnosis & Treatment

Broward Health offers advanced robotic technology that helps doctors diagnose and treat lung nodules with greater precision. By providing both minimally invasive lung biopsy and robotic lung surgery in one location, patients can receive coordinated care from the same team without delays between diagnosis and treatment.

Using the Ion Endoluminal System, physicians can guide a small robotic instrument through the airways of the lungs to reach and biopsy lung nodules. This technology helps doctors access areas of the lung that can be difficult to reach with traditional methods while avoiding larger incisions.

If cancer is detected, a thoracic surgeon at Broward Health may be able to move directly to robotic surgery to remove the cancer. In some cases, the biopsy and surgery can occur during the same anesthesia, helping patients begin treatment sooner and reducing the time between diagnosis and care.

Broward Health for Robotic Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to perform complex procedures using very small instruments and a high-definition camera. This minimally invasive approach can help surgeons operate with greater precision while reducing trauma to surrounding tissue.

At Broward Health, our experienced surgical teams use advanced robotic technology to provide safe, effective care across multiple specialties. With nearly 15 years of robotic surgery experience and thousands of procedures performed, our hospitals continue to expand access to minimally invasive treatment options.

Your surgeon will work with you to determine whether robotic-assisted surgery is the right option based on your condition and treatment plan.
