Good Samaritan Hospital Forms Center for Robotic-Assisted Surgery
September 25, 2006
In 2003, Good Samaritan Hospital became the first hospital in the region to offer robotic-assisted surgery and over the past three years has worked to refine and expand the capabilities of robotic technology. Today, the Good Samaritan Center for Robotic-Assisted Surgery is a dedicated center that provides patients throughout the region with unparalleled roboticassisted surgical expertise.
This expertise is applicable on several levels. Surgeons, technicians and researchers at Good Samaritan perform the most robotic-assisted surgeries in Greater Cincinnati. The procedures offered at Good Samaritan span the widest range in the region, encompassing cardiothoracic, urologic and gynecologic specialties. In addition, as a national robotic-assisted surgery research and development site, Good Samaritan works to perfect and develop new robotic-assisted surgery techniques to benefit an even greater number of patients. And Good Samaritan has the most up-to-date robotic-assisted surgical technology, acquiring the region’s – and one of the world’s – first da Vinci S™ Surgical System.
Lead by J. Michael Smith MD, Cardiothoracic surgeon and director of the Good Samaritan Center for Robotic-Assisted Surgery, a multidisciplinary team of surgeons and technicians are dedicated to advancing robotic-assisted surgery to area patients. Other surgeons involved in the Center are urologists Mark Delworth MD, Hari Kothegal MD, Eric Kuhn MD, Michael Maggio MD and J. D. Williams MD; gynecologists Jack Basil MD and Scott Firestein MD; and cardiothoracic surgeon John Robinson MD.
