Faster recovery times with robotic-assisted surgery from Glendale Memorial Hospital.

Advanced Robotic Surgery with daVinci Xi Surgical System

Many conditions can be effectively treated with robotic procedures, which allow for precise targeting of affected organs in tight spaces. At Glendale Memorial Hospital, our robotic program offers a wide range of surgical procedures that include:

  • General surgery
  • Colorectal
  • Gynecology
  • Gynecology oncology
  • Urogynecology
  • Urology

Center of Excellence

Glendale Memorial Hospital has been recognized by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as Glendale's first Center of Excellence for Robotic Surgery. SRC Center of Excellence accreditation is earned through participation in an extensive assessment and inspection process. Factors that must meet SRC standards include surgical volume and outcomes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standard operating procedures, emphasis on patient education, and continuous quality assessment.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgical procedures offer many advantages over traditional surgery.

  • Less invasive procedure (smaller surgical opening)
  • Greater precision
  • Less pain
  • Faster recovery time
  • Less risk of complications

Latest in Knee Replacement Technology

Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center is the first hospital in Glendale to offer the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution, the latest advancement in technology that helps surgeons perform precise knee replacement surgery. This advanced system was designed to help surgeons perform a knee replacement with the use of data that’s tailored to each patient’s anatomy, which may help provide predictable results to improve outcomes, increase mobility, and help patients recover faster.

Mako Total Knee Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery

Our skilled orthopedic surgeons utilize the Mako System's advanced software to meticulously plan your procedure beforehand. During surgery, the surgeon guides the Mako robotic-arm, ensuring accurate removal of diseased bone and cartilage. This precision allows for the precise placement of a Triathlon Total Knee implant, leading to potentially improved outcomes and a faster recovery.

HYDROS™ Robotic System

Glendale Memorial Hospital is proud to be the first in Los Angeles County and Southern California to offer the Hydros™ Robotic System to treat BPH (enlarged prostate) through Aquablation therapy. This groundbreaking procedure uses artificial intelligence to precisely remove excess prostate tissue with a minimally invasive, heat-free waterjet. Guided by advanced imaging, our expert surgeons provide accurate and consistent treatment, resulting in effective relief from BPH symptoms. The procedure is performed in a hospital setting under anesthesia, typically lasting about an hour, and may require an overnight stay.

How Robotic Surgery is Performed

Glendale Memorial Hospital offers a comprehensive robotic program—The DaVinci Xi is the newest iteration of Da Vinci surgical system. It is a performance enhancement technology that allows our board certified surgeons the most advanced tools to perform minimally invasive surgery.

The Xi has highly magnified 3DHD imagery, so the surgeon can see beyond the capability of the naked eye.

The arms of the robot allows the surgeon unobstructed access to the patient, giving 360 degrees range of motion and improved reach to the body.

Maximum precision in the OR translates to minimized incisions, which means a quicker recovery time, less pain and complications.  This means patients can get back to family, work and their life more quickly.

When You Arrive, We'll Be Waiting

Care starts the moment patients enter our main hospital lobby, where they are met by a Concierge Escort who will greet them in the lobby and take them where they need to go.
