White Plains Hospital began performing robotic surgery in Westchester in 2005 and since then has developed one of the most comprehensive and advanced robotics surgery programs in the region.
When it comes to surgery, it’s a simple fact that smaller incisions means less pain, less blood loss, less risk and often faster recoveries. Robotic surgery offers patients better outcomes and a faster return to normal activities thanks to greater precision, 3-D visualization and smaller incisions.
Our surgeons expertly perform minimally invasive robotic surgeries to treat cancerous as well as benign disorders of the kidneys, prostate, bladder, ureter, ovaries, uterus, endometrium, fallopian tubes, gall bladder, lungs, colon, rectum, stomach, and head and neck. Robotic-assisted surgery procedures are performed in state-of-the-art operating rooms using patient-centered technology, such as Single Site robotic surgery and advanced imaging.
In another first, we are the only hospital in Westchester to acquire two of the latest generation, cutting-edge da Vinci® Xi™ surgical systems that further enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes. The new system enables our surgeons to perform an increased spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures, providing patients greater access to uncompromising medical care close to home. These remarkable surgical robots are equipped with new features and technologies including, Integrated Table Motion, the seamless coordination of the da Vinci Xi robot with Trumpf Medical’s TruSystem® 7000dV advanced operating table, which permits surgeons and anesthesiologists to make a comprehensive range of table adjustments easily and efficiently during surgery; the da Vinci EndoWrist Stapler 45, Stapler 30 and Vessel Sealer; and the da Vinci Single-Site® Instrumentation, which enables surgeons to perform surgery through a single incision.
With our surgeons supported by a team of specialized nurses, physician assistants, surgical technologists and anesthesiologists, we are community leaders in robotic surgery performing nearly 500 robotic procedures per year.
