Until one helped save his life
When Jim learned the best choice for treatment of his prostate cancer involved a robot, he was surprised. It proved to be a choice he would celebrate.
At Riverside Medical Center, the daVinciŽ Surgical Robot is being used by Dr. Joel Slutsky, Dr. Kent Frye and Dr. Luke Cho for the treatment of prostate cancer and other procedures. As Jim learned, use of the robot can result in a shorter hospital stay, reduced infection risk and a quicker return to normal activities.
You can learn more about how the daVinciŽ Surgical Robot is being used at Riverside right on this website. It may change what you think about robots. It sure did for Jim.
