Robotic-Assisted Surgery at Scotland Memorial Hospital

At Scotland Memorial Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced robotic-assisted surgical technology that brings greater precision, safety, and faster recovery to our patients. Our investment in leading-edge systems reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality care close to home.

Robotic-assisted surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions with enhanced visualization, dexterity, and control. This approach often results in less pain, fewer complications, and a quicker return to everyday activities.

da Vinci 5 Surgical System

Scotland Health is proud to offer the da Vinci 5 Surgical System, the most advanced robotic platform developed by Intuitive.

Designed to support a wide range of procedures—including general surgery, gynecology, and urology—the da Vinci 5 represents a major advancement in surgical care for our region.

Key features and benefits include:

• Enhanced precision and control: Surgeons operate using advanced robotic instruments that translate their hand movements into smaller, more precise actions.
• Force Feedback technology: A next-generation feature that allows surgeons to feel how much force is being applied to tissue, helping to improve safety and reduce complications.
• Advanced 3D imaging: Provides a highly detailed, magnified view of the surgical site for greater accuracy.
• Minimally invasive approach: Smaller incisions can lead to less pain, reduced scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
  
  

With more than 150 design innovations and enhanced computing power, the da Vinci 5 system enables our surgeons to deliver exceptional care with improved outcomes and efficiency.

Mako 4 Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery

For orthopedic procedures, Scotland Health offers the Mako 4 robotic-arm assisted surgical system, making us the first healthcare provider in North Carolina to introduce this latest-generation technology.

The Mako 4 system is designed specifically for joint replacement procedures, including:

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

This advanced technology enables a personalized and highly accurate surgical experience:

• CT-based 3D modeling: Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy using a customized surgical plan.
• Real-time guidance: The robotic arm assists surgeons in executing the plan with sub-millimeter precision.
• Improved implant alignment: Greater accuracy helps enhance joint function and longevity.
• Faster recovery and less pain: Minimally invasive techniques allow patients to return to daily activities more quickly.
  
  

By preserving healthy bone and tissue while optimizing implant placement, Mako 4 helps deliver improved outcomes and long-term success for joint replacement patients.
