Surgical Research Overview
The AdventHealth Institute for Surgical Advancement (ISA) harnesses the imaginations of preeminent surgeons in the field. Carrying out basic, clinical and translational research, our expert team aims to improve outcomes for all surgical patients and decrease their costs. We work closely with ISA physicians and surgical residents to move their research ideas from protocol to full implementation of the research study until presentation and publication.
Our current studies include translational research projects, a feasibility and usability study with a novel newly approved robotic platform from TransEnterix, as well as other studies that explore a variety of surgical interventions, patterns of care, disease trends and risk factors. ISA’s surgical research studies provide resources and support for compliant and efficient research conduct.

The Prototype Lab
The Surgical Advancement Prototype Lab is a creative space for physicians, researchers, engineers and other health care professionals to bring their medical equipment development ideas to life. ISA Prototype Lab team members assist in making medical device concepts a reality. They use the latest technology, such as 3D printers, to help inventors develop, test and refine their latest ideas to improve clinical techniques and outcomes.

The Innovations in Surgery series is a remarkable opportunity to learn from industry experts in laparoscopic, robotic-assisted and minimally invasive surgery. This series is broadcast live to our surgeons and residents on the first Friday of each month.
- Community Impact
-
Each year, ISA strives to represent AdventHealth on the local, national and international levels. We achieve this large-scale representation by solving clinical needs, being at the forefront of surgical technology, sharing global best practices and connecting with the local school communities. ISA has a passion for promoting STEM education and encouraging the future of health care providers and engineers.
- Observerships
-
Our Observership Program offers surgeons and physicians worldwide the opportunity to observe our surgical techniques and procedures while shadowing physicians, residents and nurses in their daily activities.
- Conferences
-
We provide educational and training events annually to create conversations surrounding medicine and surgery. Attendees can participate in didactic sessions at the CREATION Conference Center and a hands-on wet lab at the Nicholson Center.
