Open-heart surgery used to mean weeks of downtime and discomfort, but not anymore. Legacy Good Samaritan now offers minimally invasive cardiac robotic surgery with the innovative da Vinci® Surgical System, which offers cardiac patients improved outcomes and dramatically faster healing time.
In fact, when the first robotic heart surgery in Oregon was performed at Legacy Good Samaritan, the patient was able to leave the hospital in three days and didn't require any pain medication at discharge.
Instead of dividing the breastbone, which causes more tissue trauma and pain, aa Vinci heart surgery procedures are performed with a series of small incisions across the chest. Robotic cardiac surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art operating rooms, which provide our surgeons with amazing audiovisual capabilities and incredible precision.
