MONTEBELLO, Calif., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Adventist Health White Memorial Montebello celebrated its 100th surgery utilizing the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, a medical milestone that has helped patients in the community achieve better outcomes with minimally invasive surgery procedures.

"Adventist Health White Memorial is pleased to bring the advanced technology of the da Vinci Xi system to the patients and surgeons of Montebello. Also known as "robotic surgery" the minimally invasive procedures performed with the Da Vinci system allow more patients to get the best surgery to meet their needs without leaving their community," said Mark Dumais, MD, Medical Officer, Adventist Health White Memorial Montebello.

Surgeons at Adventist Health White Memorial Montebello began offering robotic surgery for our community in April of this year. Already 100 patients have benefited from this technology.

The da Vinci Xi surgical system can be used across a spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures and may result in smaller incisions, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays when compared to traditional open surgical procedures.

The surgeons at Adventist Health White Memorial Montebello are leaders in this field and look forward to continually bringing advanced minimally invasive surgical options to their community.
