Eastside Invites YOU
To Be The Surgeon
 

Get behind the controls of the surgical robot from Eastside Medical Center and see why robot technology is changing the experience of surgery.  

Eastside Medical Center is proud to exhibit the da Vinci Surgical System on Wednesday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the visitor lobby of the medical center. Individuals will be able to “test drive” the robot and ask questions of our medical staff.  Individuals will be able to move the unit’s arms, play with the instruments and experience what surgeons see and feel when they use the robot to operate.

“We are excited about this state-of-the-art technology and want to share it with the Community,” said Kim Ryan, CEO at Eastside Medical Center. “The da Vinci robotic system actually enhances the surgeon’s skill with computer technology, enabling them to see vital anatomical structures more clearly and perform surgical procedures more precisely. Also, our Skills simulator is a new training technology which can be thought of as a flight simulator for surgeons.  It’s exciting to have the first in the Atlanta Market. For most patients, the benefits over traditional prostate and gynecological surgery include shorter hospital stays, less pain, less risk of infection, less scarring and faster recovery of continence. “

The da Vinci Robotic Surgery System has been featured on the grand finale of Grey’s Anatomy, Good Morning America and other popular shows.
