One of Only Three Mentor Case Observation Sites for Thoracic Surgery in Southern California

Intuitive Surgical® has designated Long Beach Medical Center a Mentor Case Observation Site for robotic-assisted thoracic surgery using the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System. As one of only three Mentor Case Observation Sites in Southern California, we will welcome three to four surgeons each year to learn the latest robotic-assisted surgery techniques from our da Vinci® Xi™ thoracic surgery expert, Dr. Amir Abolhoda. Dr. Abolhoda uses the da Vinci® Xi™ to perform cardiothoracic procedures within our MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute and thoracic cancer procedures within the MemorialCare Todd Cancer Institute.

Mentoring includes discussion of patient pathology, surgical approaches, intraoperative applications and post-operative patient management. During surgery, Dr. Abolhoda will help surgeons from around the United States develop skills by teaching them unique techniques and by providing a step-by-step demonstration on the system. This mentoring allows these surgeons to bring these advanced techniques to their own practice to enhance patient care in their area.
