History at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center

In 2003 Mercy St. Vincent became the first hospital in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, and the 99th hospital in the nation, to offer state-of-the-art robotic surgery with the daVinci Surgical System. Today we are the only system in the area to have three daVinci Surgical Systems. In just eight years our surgeons have performed more than 1,500 robotically-assisted procedures, the highest total volume of robotic cases in the city of Toledo.

We are the first hospital in the area to perform:

• Robotic Total Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass (open heart procedure)
• Robotic Hysterectomy (Removal of the uterus)
• Robotic Endometriosis Resection (Removal of Endometriosis lesions)
• Robotic Nephrectomy (Removal of the kidney)
• Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (Partial removal of the kidney)
• Robotic Andrenalectomy (Removal of the adrenal glands)
• Robotic Urinary Diversion (Due to urinary tract cancer)
• Robotic Ureteral Reconstruction (Reconstruction urinary surgery)
• Robotic Nephroureterectomy (Removal of the kidney and ureter)
