It may not be the superstar you’re thinking of, but Waverley Private Hospital is celebrating the arrival of its very own ‘Beyonce’ - otherwise known as the new da Vinci X robot.
In an exciting milestone for the hospital, the first robotic surgery list was performed in June, at the expert hands of General and Colorectal Surgeon, Mr Kareem Marwan.
Chief Executive Officer Maree Mendola said it was a fantastic achievement for the whole team, who had affectionately dubbed the robot ‘Beyonce - because she’s a star!’.
“We’re looking forward to growing our robotics program so that we can continue to provide advanced technology to our patients now and into the future,” Ms Mendola said.
“I want to congratulate Mr Marwan for completing three procedures on the first robotic list, all without issue and providing great outcomes for the patients,” she said.
The first procedures using the daVinci X robot were for a hernia repair, a cholecystectomy and a right hemicolectomy.
“I also want to acknowledge our wonderful perioperative team for their commitment to training and learning about the da Vinci X robot to ensure the procedures are performed safely,” Ms Mendola aid.
