Hospitals serve as training centers for Robotic Technology

Utilizing robotic technology, the surgeon's precision and dexterity is significantly improved, the result of an ergonomic operating environment that reduces fatigue, improves visualization that allows the surgeon to make smaller incisions, reduces bleeding and pain thereby requiring a shorter hospital stay and reducing healthcare costs.

Dr. White, said, "The future of minimally invasive surgery depends on the surgeon's ability to integrate high technology and advanced techniques into medical practice. Montefiore Medical Center's mission is to provide surgeons and residents with significant educational and technical support in an environment that will allow Montefiore to move the practice of robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery forward. Dr. White concluded, "The Institute is a premier training center on the east coast and was first in the Northeast to use the Zeus, Computer Motion, Inc. (NASDAQ: RBOT).

The Zeus $1-million-plus integrated "intelligent" operating room of the future, is located at Montefiore's Weiler/Einstein Division, and includes the robotic surgery system, Aesop robotic endoscopic camera unit, Hermes voice control module, and Socrates distance tele-collaboration equipment that allows surgeons at Montefiore to broadcast operations at the Medical Center to remote, off-site locations across the globe.
