Advanced Technology
Sarasota Memorial was one of the first in Florida to see the revolutionary possibilities of robotic technology in 2007 and performed one of the first robotic procedures in the state using the da Vinci-S robotic surgery system. Since then, the hospital and its team of surgeons have remained at the forefront of the field, expanding opportunities for patients to benefit from robotic-assisted, minimally invasive procedures. Sarasota Memorial's Robotic Surgery program currently has 18 surgeons serving six medical specialties: Cardiovascular, Thoracic, Urology, Gynecology, Oncology, and General Surgery.

Famous quotes containing the words advanced and/or technology:
“Among the earliest institutions to be invented, if I read the stars right, is a Protestant monastery, a place of elegant seclusion where melancholy gentlemen and ladies may go to spend the advanced session of life in drinking milk, walking the woods & reading the Bible and the poets.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
