Our Services
At Holy Cross Hospital - Mountain Point, our surgeons have access to four advanced robot-assisted surgery systems.
Automated Robotic Therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that surrounds the urethra. It is thought to be the result of cell growth and hormone changes that are part of the aging process. Holy Cross Hospital – Mountain Point is the first in Utah to offer the only image-guided, heat-free, automated robotic therapy for BPH.
Benefits you can expect from Aquablation Therapy include:
Holy Cross Hospital – Mountain Point utilizes advanced robotic technology to perform complex surgical procedures using only a few small incisions. The da Vinci® robot, controlled by the surgeon from a nearby control center, features multiple arms capable of maneuvers and rotations that surpass the natural ability of the human hand. Surgeons use the robotic system for general surgery (including hernia repair and bariatric surgery), hysterectomy, myomectomy, prostatectomy.
For patients, this robot-assisted surgery offers numerous advantages, including significantly less pain, reduced blood loss, and minimal scarring. This advanced surgical approach also leads to a shorter recovery time, allowing for a faster return to daily activities and often resulting in better clinical outcomes.
Robot-Assisted Partial and Total Knee Replacement and Hip Replacement
Using sophisticated software, 3D virtual models and robotic arm technology, surgeons using Mako® technology can determine the correct size and positioning needed for each individual patient’s implant.
The benefits of this minimally invasive procedure include personalized surgical plans, real-time feedback for surgeons, precise bone preparation and implant placement, minimal blood loss and scarring, preservation of healthy tissue, less post-operative pain, quicker recovery, improved mobility, increased daily activity, decreased risk of further injury, improved quality of life, and long-term benefits.
Robot-Assisted Navigation for Partial or Total Knee Replacement
This advanced system combines navigation technology working in conjunction with a handheld robot-assisted system to aid in partial or total knee replacement surgery. The CORI® Robot-Assisted Surgery creates a customized 3D digital model of your knee to help your surgeon finalize and verify the right size implant for you in addition to creating a detailed surgical plan for how your replacement will be placed to optimize movement and function. The robot enables surgeons to be extremely precise with placement of your knee implant.
Robot-assisted navigation offers several benefits for joint replacement, including flexibility, reduced radiation exposure through image-free smart mapping, optimized alignment and balance, data access for surgeons to improve outcomes, and faster recovery than conventional surgery.
