The Future of Health Care Is Here.

Exclusive Breast Treatments

• Savi Scout® is a wire-free radar localization system that uses radar for a zero-radiation and wire-free solution designed to aid surgeons in locating target tissue during a lumpectomy to ±1mm of accuracy. Traditionally, lumpectomy procedures involve wire localization — inserting a wire into the breast on the day of surgery. For many women, this leads to discomfort, increased anxiety, and reduced satisfaction.
• Oncoplastic Breast Surgery combines the expertise of a breast oncologist and the techniques of a plastic surgeon to preserve the physical appearance of the breast while removing the cancer all in one surgery. This type of conservation surgery removes the cancer, reshapes the breast and prevents excessive scarring.
• Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) is used for early stage breast cancer treatment, where a low energy therapeutic X-ray system delivers a concentrated dose of radiation therapy in the operating room to a tumor bed right after a lumpectomy. This eliminates the need for radiation therapy follow up after surgery. Treatment is all complete in one surgery.

• AlignRT™ uses 3D stereo cameras to pinpoint your cancer’s exact location with sub-millimeter accuracy. It can sense the tiniest degree of movement, and immediately stops the radiation, should a patient move out of place. The treatment is ideal for brain, lung, liver, sarcoma, head and neck and left breast cancer patients, who want to ensure the accuracy is there to protect their heart and lungs.
• High Dose Rate Brachytherapy is delivered using computer-controlled movements of tiny radioactive seeds, which are made to dwell in an applicator placed directly inside the tumor. The applicator position and timing of source placement are precisely controlled, allowing the physician to shape the radiation dose to the target.
• Hyperthermia is a specialized therapy that involves heating selected tumors to 106 - 108 Fahrenheit for up to one hour. Hyperthermia enhances the effects of radiation and helps in eliminating tumors.
• TomoTherapy HD uses a CT scanner for image guidance to ensure the therapy is set up based on the patient’s internal anatomy. Tomotherapy’s ability to regulate the intensity of the radiation beam to conform around the target sharply decreases dose beyond the tumor.

• O-arm® uses computer navigation to provide real-time visualization of spinal structures in 3D. This technology allows us to perform complex spine surgery with unparalleled accuracy. This lowers risk and complication rates and increases surgery precision.
• ExcelsiusGPS® Robotic Navigation platform is the first technology to combine a robotic arm and full navigation capabilities for spine surgery. The system creates a surgical plan based on your unique anatomy, guiding the robotic arm to a specific region of your spine, similar to a planned pathway on GPS. The surgeon uses this pathway to accurately conduct spine surgery with the utmost of precision.

• Mako™ Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery brings a new level of precision to treating patients with joint pain. Mako Technology provides a 3-D model of your unique anatomy to assist your surgeon in pre-planning and precise placement of knee and hip implants.
• Mako Partial Knee Resurfacing 
  Performed using the proven robotic arm assisted technology Mako provides surgeons precision to address only the diseased portion of the knee, retaining as much of the natural knee as possible – including healthy bone and ligaments.
• Mako Total Knee Replacement 
  MakoTotal Knee transforms the way total knee replacements are performed. Through CT-based 3D modeling of bone anatomy, surgeons can use the Mako System to create a personalized surgical plan and identify the implant size, orientation and alignment based on each patient’s unique anatomy.
• Mako Total Hip Replacement 
  Performed using the proven robotic arm assisted technology Mako provides surgeons precision in placement of implants reducing incidence dislocations and accurate leg length.

• Da Vinci® Xi Surgical System is a computer-assisted surgical system designed to enable and enhance minimally invasive surgery, by allowing a surgeon’s hand movements to be translated into smaller, precise movements by small, wristed instruments inside the patient’s body. This reduces pain and scaring, shortens hospital stays, results in fewer complications and quicker recovery and return to normal activities.

The da Vinci® Xi is the latest on the market and enhances minimally invasive surgery across a growing number of specialties including:

• Colorectal Surgery
• General Surgery
• Gynecology Surgery
• Otolaryngology Surgery
• Thoracic Surgery
• Urology Surgery
