CentraState provides state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgery, including the “da Vinci® robotic surgery,” for conditions ranging from endovascular procedures to joint replacements. Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery may result in faster healing and a shorter recovery time for patients. Our surgical services are delivered in state-of-the-art operating rooms by highly trained physicians and nurses. Same-day surgery procedures—those not requiring an overnight stay—are performed in CentraState’s Ambulatory Surgery Center. And when appropriate, patients receive pre- and post-operative care in our Short Stay Surgical Unit.

Minimally Invasive, Maximum Experience

Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to make tiny minimally invasive incisions —resulting in less pain, scarring, and a faster recovery. CentraState Medical Center’s surgeons have performed thousands of robotic surgery procedures using the da Vinci® Xi Surgical System. In addition, patients who need a partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, or a total hip replacement have access to Mako SmartRobotics™ technology.

Quality Awards

Centrastate Healthcare System has earned many quality awards and accreditations that reflect our continuous efforts to provide exceptional patient care, innovative medical treatments, and a compassionate healthcare environment. Learn more about our quality awards.

ROBOTIC SURGERY

Robotic-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System offers an advanced, minimally invasive approach to surgery. It enables our specially trained surgeons to provide an alternative to traditional open surgery for procedures considered too complex or delicate to treat using standard minimally invasive technology.

Robotic-assisted surgery offers physicians the control, range of motion, and visibility of open surgery, but it also allows them to work through tiny incisions. This means that patients may benefit from reduced blood loss, less pain and scarring, decreased risk of infection, fewer complications, and a faster recovery time.

Robotic surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System is available for many conditions and diseases, including:

  • Achalasia (swallowing disorder)
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Diverticulitis
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroid tumors
  • Gall bladder disorders
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Hernia
  • Kidney cancer
  • Kidney disorders
  • Obesity
  • Pelvic prolapse
  • Prostate cancer
  • Ulcerative colitis

At CentraState, patients who need a partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, or a total hip replacement now have access to Mako SmartRoboticsTM technology.

The process starts with a CT scan of the joint, which is loaded into Mako software and used to develop a 3D virtual model of each patient’s unique anatomy prior to surgery. Using this software, the orthopedic surgeon can better predict the size, placement and positioning of the implant for a more personalized, efficient surgical plan.

With the surgical plan programmed into the Mako robot, the orthopedic surgeon guides the robotic arm to remove diseased or damaged bone and cartilage from the joint. AccuStopTM technology helps the surgeon better ensure the preservation of healthy bone. Mako also provides real-time data so surgeons can assess movement and tension of the new joint – one of the most important factors for implant durability – and adjust the surgical plan accordingly if needed.

Types of procedures this is available for:

  • Total knee replacement
  • Partial knee replacement
  • Tota hip replacement
