As I have mentioned before, PVHS hospitals have been doing robotic surgery longer than most hospitals in the United States. In fact, we offered robotic services for five years and had three robots working actively before there was even another robot in northern Colorado. As a result, our Rocky Mountain Robotics Institute has done hundreds, if not thousands, more cases than any other program in northern Colorado.
Dr. Warren James and his team perform a robotic surgery earlier this year.
In medicine, experience is everything. It is really a thrill to watch Rocky Mountain Robotics Institute at MCR and PVH maintain their leadership with this amazing technology and have people from around the world come to learn how we run our program. Earlier this month our program, along with Drs. Michael Lee and Ben Wisner of our robotic urology service, was featured on KUSA/9News’ Colorado and Company program (video). These are just two of the 20 talented robotic surgeons (including Dr. Warren James, a pioneer in robotic gynecology and one of the most experienced robotic surgeons in Colorado) and amazing staff who are working to make this program truly extraordinary! Congrats to everyone involved in the program!
Enjoy the video!
