Robotics in the surgery theater is not new. But the advancements keep coming. What used to be a sci-fi fantasy used by just a few is now a growing reality, and robotics are making surgery safer and less invasive.
The most recent advancement at Baptist Health is robotic technology that allows a surgeon to treat head and neck cancers without needing to cut the patient’s face and neck to gain access to the cancer.
Through robotics, the cancer can be reached through the patient’s mouth.
