Blackrock Health, combining Hermitage, Blackrock, Galway and Limerick Clinic, has reached a milestone in surgical care with over four thousand robotic-assisted surgeries completed across the group using the da Vinci surgical system, developed by Intuitive.
When utilised by expert surgeons, the da Vinci system offers the surgeon greater precision, increased dexterity of instrument motions and improved vision. For patients, use of the system may result in reduced operative risk, reduced operation times, reduced post-operative pain and earlier recovery. Encouraging a more positive post-surgical life, the da Vinci surgical system allows for smaller incisions with less blood loss, pain and scarring.
