With minimally invasive robot at BVHS
Posted by LizGH on Tuesday, October 23, 2018

The surgery department of Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) has recently reached the milestone of 5,000 surgical procedures completed using a daVinci robot, which allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. BVHS is only the second health system in northwest Ohio to achieve this milestone.

The first robot was purchased at Blanchard Valley Hospital (BVH) in 2010 followed by three more purchased in 2011, 2015 and 2018 respectively. Utilizing this robot allows surgeons to increase accuracy due to the greater visibility it provides. Patients who undergo robotic surgery experience faster recoveries, shorter lengths of stay at the hospital and less scarring.
