August 27, 2024 — TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - AdventHealth North Pinellas is the first and only hospital in Pinellas County to introduce the state-of-the art, da Vinci SP® surgical system by Intuitive. The da Vinci SP is a versatile, high-performance, single-port robotic surgical system uniquely designed for surgery through one incision. The robot’s unique dimensions and capabilities offer patients another surgical option that is less invasive.

“AdventHealth North Pinellas introduced this technology to better serve our Pinellas County community,” said Ryan Quattlebaum, president and CEO of AdventHealth North Pinellas. “This expands our options for patients to help ensure the best medical outcomes for those who qualify for surgeries with the single-port robot.”

The da Vinci SP offers exciting capabilities for our AdventHealth North Pinellas surgical teams:

• Perform procedures with a range of complexity – Perform an entire surgery through a single specimen extraction site; expand the range of candidates for certain surgeries.
• Three instruments with an elbow and wrist at the distal end allow greater range of motion than the human hand, making for precise suturing, dissection, and tissue manipulation.
