Robotic surgery demonstrations set at i.Park, Norwalk Hospital
Posted on 08/29/2010
NORWALK Could you imagine what it would be like to operate a robot? The general public will have the opportunity to do just that during a demonstration of the daVinci Robotic Surgical System at the Health and Wellness Center of Norwalk Hospital at i.Park on Tuesday, Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and at Norwalk Hospital in the main lobby on Wednesday, Sept. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to a news release. These community health education events are being offered as a public service during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Health professionals will be available to demonstrate the robot and answer questions about prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. That is why awareness of the importance of regular screening for early detection of prostate cancer is so important. According to Jonathan E. Bernie, M.D., chief of robotic surgery at Norwalk Hospital, "The daVinci Surgical System is a great benefit to our patients because it provides 3-D visualization and greater precision enabling the surgeon to perform complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach." For more information about robotic surgery, attend the events on Sept. 7 or 8, or call the Norwalk Hospital Community Relations Department at (203) 852-2250.
