Regional One Health announces an advancement in surgical care with the incorporation of a state-of the art hybrid operating room and three da Vinci 5 robotic surgical systems.

The new OR enhances the hospital system’s role as the region’s level one trauma center for adults. This OR seamlessly integrates imaging technology and surgical suites for a comprehensive approach to complex cases.

The new OR allows Regional One to treat patients with vascular diseases and abnormalities of the vascular system. The hospital’s vascular surgeons can now treat thoracic and abdominal aortic dissections or aneurysms, high-risk carotid disease and end-stage peripheral arterial disease contributing to limb loss. These cases include endovascular abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs, transcarotid arterial stenting, and arterial and venous reconstructive procedures that rely on real-time fluoroscopic imaging.

The hospital system can now apply both endovascular techniques (diagnostic or therapeutic) and open surgical procedures to improve blood flow to the brain, extremities or abdominal/pelvic organs.  Surgeons can perform life-saving surgical procedures after traumatic injuries to the chest, abdomen, neck and extremities that require real-time fluoroscopic imaging.

Regional One Health also added three da Vinci robotic surgical systems, one in an inpatient OR and two in the outpatient center. The new robotic surgery platform provides surgeons the ability to actually feel the instruments and offers enhanced dexterity, control, and visualization.
