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 technology, advanced and/or technology:
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“I saw my lady weep,
And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
Her face was full of woe;
But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.”
—Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
