Keith’s Story
When Keith learned he needed to have his prostate removed, he was concerned. He had been enjoying an active, fulfilling retirement, working part-time at O.D. Greene’s and hunting with his friends. Suddenly, it seemed like all of that was about to change. But then his doctor explained that Samaritan specializes in minimally invasive urologic, gynecologic and general robotic surgery. Keith would be in the hands of the region’s largest robotic surgery team, and they would be using the world’s most advanced robotic surgical system. So the incisions would be smaller and the recovery would be faster. Keith’s surgeons told him he could get back to his life in no time. And that’s exactly what he did.

The system provides step-by-step updates on where the patient is and when visitors are allowed to see the patient.
