What does it really mean when a surgery is performed using a robot? While robotic surgery continues to mystify many, robotics are just one of the many tools available to a surgeon, allowing them to perform procedures minimally invasively with pinpoint accuracy. What does that mean for our patients?
Less pain, faster recoveries and back to life sooner.

At Providence, we’re investing in an expansive array of robotics to improve our patients’ experience, such as the Intuitive da Vinci for general surgery, the Zimmer ROSA® for orthopedic knee replacement and the ExcelsiusGPS™ Globus robot for spine and brain surgeries, just to name a few. Our newest member of the surgical team, the Globus robot is one of the most leading-edge technologies in health care. A revolutionary, state-of-the-art surgical system, the Globus robot takes spine and brain procedures to the next level by working side-by-side with surgeons and enabling unprecedented accuracy, precision and efficiency — which results in smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recoveries. “My team and I are passionate about using new technology to help our patients achieve the best outcome possible so they can quickly get back to doing the things they love,” shares Providence neurosurgeon Brian Hwang, M.D., a robotics fellowship-trained surgeon who is already using the Globus robot. “I have seen firsthand how advanced technology has a tremendously positive impact on the health and well-being of our patients and I cannot be more thrilled.” Providence is dedicated to pioneering the next phase of the surgery revolution and many innovative technologies are on the horizon. It’s all part of our promise to ease the way for our patients, bringing the latest advancements to the communities we serve. Learn more. |
