Robotics play a key role in treatments that deliver better outcomes

Leading surgical innovation with one of the largest single-site orthopaedic teams in Ontario

TODAY/ CHALLENGE

One of the first of its kind, our Robotic Surgery program continues to innovate and lead the way in improving patient and system outcomes. Our surgeons recently performed Toronto’s first fully robotic bladder cancer surgery and piloted Hyper-Throughput Operating Rooms, designed to make anterior hip replacements faster and safer. With a strong commitment to transformative and revolutionary care, our teams are constantly discovering new ways to expand the use of Robotic Surgery to a growing number of procedures for better patient and system outcomes.

TOMORROW/ OPPORTUNITY

With your help, we can continue to upgrade our medical and surgical robots and stay at the forefront of the latest innovations. Expanding the use of Robotic Surgery will further enable us to provide advanced care to even more patients, enhance other programs and give more surgeons the opportunity to be trained in their use.

Robotic Surgery is primarily donor-funded. Without your generosity, our Robotic Surgery program would not exist and patients would not have access to significantly improved outcomes and surgical efficiency.

Precision Treatment

For the past decade, thousands of patients with the most complicated and risky medical needs have travelled from far and wide to receive precision treatment from our talented surgeons guiding the robots.

Better Outcomes

Robotic Surgery allows for less invasive techniques, which leads to quicker recovery times and fewer postoperative complications.

Maximum Efficiency

With an 87% same-day discharge rate for the hip and knee population, the surgical team continues to push the envelope for efficiencies and safety.

Always Innovating

Our surgeons recently performed Toronto’s first fully robotic bladder cancer surgery and piloted Hyper-Throughput Operating Rooms, designed to make anterior hip replacements faster and safer.

We came to learn that Robotics allows for more precise surgery, faster recovery, and increased throughput. It’s about making healthcare more efficient: more people getting a higher level of care. That makes good sense to me.

I’ve been telling everyone – if anything ever happens to you, you need to go to Humber. Without the technology and expertise at Humber River Health, I would have been in a lot more pain, with a lot more scarring. My experience has been 10/10.

I was struck when John came home after the second surgery. I was all ready to help him, support him, and help him walk, but within a day he was not using a walker or cane. The general care from the beginning to end, everybody at the Hospital – the surgeons and staff were wonderful to deal with and it makes a difference.
