Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center announced the recent acquisition of the Intuitive da Vinci 5® surgical system with the goal of further advancing technology used in minimally invasive care. This platform was designed to transform surgery to enable better outcomes, efficiency, and actionable insights. The system can be used for minimally invasive surgical procedures for urology, gynecology, thoracic, and general surgeries.
One of the new benefits of the robot is its virtual consult feature, which allows collaboration across the health system. A robotic surgeon in Baton Rouge will be able to consult with a surgeon in another location in real time in the operating room.
Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center hosted an event to unveil the technology and facilitated hands-on demonstrations for local media, hospital staff, and members of the community.
