Robotic surgery enables physicians to perform minimally invasive surgery that is not possible with simple laparoscopic instruments. It is one of the most significant advancements in surgery during our lifetime. With the robot’s high definition camera, 10 times magnification, and 540 degrees of movement, we are able to perform surgery that could not be accomplished with traditional methods.
We specialize in noninvasive gynecologic surgery using the Da Vinci robot system. We have more robotic surgeons than any private practice within the triangle. This allows us to provide two experienced robotic surgeons for every surgery. We also work in conjunction with Urogynecologists and Gynecologic Oncologists. Our surgeons were the first to do total laparoscopic hysterectomies in the area.
With over 300 successful laparoscopic hysterectomies completed and 150 robotic hysterectomies, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is not new to us. Additionally, we were the first to do a robotic hysterectomy at Rex Hospital and the first to perform a robotic myomectomy.
Robotic Epicenter
Of the 5000 hospitals registered in the United States there are only 20 Epicenter surgeons. Epicenter surgeons are nationally recognized for their commitment to excellence in robotic surgery. We are proud to be recognized as the only epicenter in North Carolina. With this distinction, our physicians have had the privilege to train and work with surgeons from all over the country. Epicenter surgeons also get to use the latest technology that is not offered to other hospitals.
Currently, we are the only center in North Carolina that offers single site robot hysterectomies with just one incision in the belly button. Only 20 surgeons are allowed to perform single-site hysterectomies with the robot at this time.
