Jamaica Hospital Medical Center is proud to announce the newest member of our team, the da Vinci Robot. This state-of-the-art robotic surgical platform is the most advanced method of delivering minimally invasive surgery to our patients.
The da Vinci Surgical Robotic Platform serves as an extension of our highly trained and esteemed surgeons. It consists of a console in the operating room where the surgeon sits and controls the movements of the robot’s arms during surgery (The surgeon is in 100% control of the robot, which translates their movements into smaller, more precise movements.)

The machine’s dexterity allows far greater control and precision than the human wrist. Small incisions are cut at the surgical site where miniaturized tools and a sophisticated, high-definition 3D camera are inserted. The camera lets the surgeon view a magnified, 3D, and high-resolution image of the surgical site.

Through robotic-assisted surgery, procedures that once required open surgery can now be performed through small incisions on the body. Patients may receive several benefits, such as minimal scarring, less pain, faster recovery times, less risk of wound infection, shorter hospital stays, and less blood loss.

Through the use of the DaVinci robotic surgical platform, our expert surgeons will have the ability to provide a wide range of minimally invasive procedures, such as:
