WBAMC first in DoD to use robot for surgery
Medical personnel at William Beaumont Army Medical Center perform the first robotic surgery in the Department of Defense using the daVinci Xi surgical system, a minimally-invasive robotic surgery system, at WBAMC, May 2. The surgeon-manipulated system allows for surgeons to operate with articulating instruments which bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist through an incision smaller than a centimeter.
