State-Of-The-Art Robotic Surgery Shapes Ummc’s Future

JACKSON, Miss. - The recent launch of robotic surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center is expected to increase opportunities for learning, research and improved patient care.

 

The Medical Center acquired the da Vinci Si High Definition Surgical System, the latest in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery technology. The upgraded system has enhanced three-dimensional HD resolution to provide physicians with a magnified view of the surgical field. Camera lenses magnify objects 10 times and in 3DHD.

 

A dual console helps with hands-on resident education.

 

The da Vinci is mainly used for prostatectomies and gynecologic procedures, but robotic surgery also has been used for kidney removal, tumor removal, lymph node dissections and ureteral blockages.

 

Dr. Amber Shiflett, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, was the first physician to use the Medical Center’s da Vinci for a hysterectomy. She said better mobility for the surgeon is an important advantage of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopic surgery.

 

The wonderful thing about the dual console is, you as the attending can sit down with the resident at the other console. You can “hand-off” instruments, and in difficult cases, the attending can take control of the instruments at any time.
