McKee to hold open house for public to see robotic surgical system 

LOVELAND, Colo. (Feb. 24, 2010) – McKee Medical Center invites the public to see the most advanced robotic surgical system in Northern Colorado during an open house Saturday, March 6.

During the event, guests can visit with surgeons, learn more about the benefits of minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery for various procedures and see the da Vinci® Si Surgical System in a state-of-the-art operating room. The open house is 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Guests should come to the Main Lobby of McKee Medical Center at 2000 Boise Ave.

McKee began offering robotic-assisted surgery in 2009 to patients as an alternative to laparoscopic and traditional open surgeries. Benefits can include less blood loss, less pain, shorter hospital stay and shorter recovery time.

Currently, McKee offers robotic-assisted surgery for gynecologic and urologic procedures.
