With the Da Vinci Xi robotic surgery system technology in our operating rooms, smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter recovery and hospital stays, and lower rates of infection mean less really is more. At North Alabama Shoals Hospital, we're committed to providing innovative and safe alternatives to traditional open surgery, whenever possible. The robotic surgical system is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to both open surgery and laparoscopy. Our robotic surgery platforms are changing the experience of surgery for both surgeons and their patients.

The da Vinci Xi surgical system

Beyond its core robotic capabilities, the da Vinci Xi acts as a fully integrated surgical command center, featuring "top-tier" options that elevate the standard of care. 

• 3D High-Definition Vision: Surgeons see inside the body with 10x magnification and immersive 3D clarity, far surpassing the naked eye.

• Wristed Instrumentation: The "EndoWrist" instruments mimic the human hand but with a greater range of motion and no natural hand tremors.

• Multi-Quadrant Access: The Xi’s overhead boom architecture allows the robot to rotate and reach different parts of the abdomen without being moved, making complex surgeries faster.

• Laser-Precision: It uses "Firefly" fluorescence imaging to highlight blood flow and distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue in real-time.
