Dr. Bill Dean, cardiovascular & thoracic surgeon, discusses the advanced technology of the Hybrid Endovascular Suite at United Regional, allowing the hospital to stay at the forefront of endovascular surgery in the United States.
Inpatient and ambulatory surgery is located on the third floor of the Bridwell Tower. There are 14 operating suites, many designed specifically for computer-assisted procedures.
Some of the advanced technology available includes:
Computerized navigation system for total joint replacements.
Computerized navigation system for neurosurgical procedures.
Hybrid endovascular suite, which combines endovascular, cardiac surgical, laparoscopic, and radiological capabilities, allowing flexibility and speed in the treatment of patients with the most complex cardiac and vascular conditions.
The suite can accommodate minimally-invasive cardiovascular procedures and then convert into an open heart surgical suite if the need arises.
Dr. John Reeves, neurosurgeon, discusses how United Regional has advanced surgical services at the hospital by investing in the latest technologies such as the Zeiss OPMI Pentero neurosurgical microscope and the da Vinci surgical robot, as well as attracting and keeping highly skilled specialists.
