Leading Edge Robotic Assisted Surgery

Parker Adventist Hospital is at the forefront of advances in medical technology

We are changing the experience of surgery at Parker for the surgeon, the hospital and most importantly…for the patient. Robotic technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement.

Robotically-assisted minimally invasive or open surgery, using the da Vinci® Si™ HD or Mazor Rennaissance  robotic system, represents a third generation of surgery, one which builds upon the advances to open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. Robotic technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement. Parker Hospital continues to be a leader in bringing advanced surgical technology to our patients.
