Robotic Surgery

Our Robots

da Vinci®  Surgical Systems

North Florida Regional Medical is home to two da Vinci robotic surgical systems, which provide surgeons added precision, dexterity and control. da Vinci surgeries require only a few small incisions, so patients can get back to their lives faster without the usual recovery following major surgery.

CyberKnife

CyberKnifeRevolutionary technology offers precise, painless, non-invasive robotic radiosurgery. Combining two advanced technologies, the CyberKnife makes it possible to remove cancer without a single incision. A multi-jointed robotic arm provides access to tumors anywhere in the body. An image guidance system allows the CyberKnife to locate the tumor throughout treatment and correct for small patient movements. Learn moreĀ»

Robot Assisted Devices

In addition to da Vinci Surgical Systems and the CyberKnife, robot assisted devices are used by physicians and staff at North Florida Regional Medical Center.  These devices increase precision and accuracy of surgeons’ work and deliver correspondingly better outcomes for our patients. Examples include the following:

  • O-Arm Imaging Technology for Spine Surgeries – provides multi-dimensional, surgical imaging for complex spine surgeries.  The technology is distributed by Medtronic Navigation and provides intraoperative fluoroscopy through robotic technology.  Spine surgery patients at North Florida Regional Medical Center do not need to be removed from OR for imaging to confirm placement of an implant.  O-Arm Imaging Technology provides real-time, 3-D images in the operating room.
  • Stryker eNlite Knee Navigation System – designed to improve the surgical performance and clinical outcome of knee replacement surgery. The robotic software navigation package helps facilitate improved decision making for alignment and orientation of instruments, trials and implants. Stryker knee navigation software packages provide surgeons a simplified solution helping make navigated total knee replacements easier procedures to incorporate in the everyday OR environment. Computer assisted surgery may also result in possible shorter hospital stays for patients, decreased complications, improved joint stability and decreased rehabilitation time.
  • LandmarX® Element ENT Image Guidance System (IGS) – provides advanced technology to support the essential IGS functions an ENT surgeon needs for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).  The  surgical platform supports use of special application software and  reformats patient-specific CT images acquired before surgery and displays them onscreen from a variety of perspectives.  During surgery, the system tracks the position of the instruments in or on the patient anatomy and continuously updates the instrument position on these images. Uninterrupted navigation assists the surgeon in performing precise and accurate procedures.
