ECRMC Robotic Surgery in Imperial Valley
State-of-the-Art Care from El Centro Regional Medical Center
At El Centro Regional Medical Center, we utilize innovative, advanced technology
to provide the highest level of care possible to our patients and families
in Imperial Valley. As part of this ongoing commitment, ECRMC is home
to the da Vinci® Xi™, the next generation in robotic surgical
equipment. The da Vinci® Xi™ is the most advanced minimally
invasive option for surgeries in the areas of colorectal, general, gynecologic
and urology. The da Vinci® Xi™ allows ECRMC patients to experience
the dramatic benefits of an accurate, efficient robotic procedure.
The da Vinci Xi System expands and enhances some of the features of the
da Vinci System previously operated at ECRMC, including articulating instruments,
3D high definition (3D-HD) visualization, intuitive motion, and an ergonomic
design. The surgeon is 100% in control of the robotic-assisted system,
which translates his/her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements
of tiny instruments.
The benefits of robotic surgery include:
- Shorter hospital stays
- Limited blood loss
- Less risk of infection
- Less pain during recovery
- Smaller incisions/Minimized scarring
- Quicker recoveries
