Robotic surgery is the future

At TidalHealth, the future is now

In TidalHealth’s operating rooms, clinical teams perform virtual symphonies. Leading the group like a conductor is the surgeon, who gives direction to the orchestra (a talented group of healthcare professionals) to ensure they don’t miss a beat.

One of those surgeons is Dr. Kurt Wehberg, a pioneer of robotic surgery in our region and the physician responsible for performing minimally invasive lung surgery at TidalHealth Nanticoke. Assisted by high-tech equipment, Dr. Wehberg’s team is dedicated to achieving positive outcomes for their patients — and their families.

Robotic-assisted surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System allows Dr. Wehberg, and other TidalHealth surgeons, to perform complex, minimally invasive surgical procedures with precision and accuracy. The system is an advanced robotic platform designed to expand the surgeon’s capabilities and offer an option to open surgery. It allows extremely precise, small cuts that lead to smaller scars and faster healing times.
