Southern New Hampshire Health is expanding access to advanced surgical care by bringing cutting-edge robotic technology to patients right here in our community. From minimally invasive procedures to highly specialized joint replacements, these innovations are transforming the way our surgical teams treat and care for our patients. By enhancing precision and improving outcomes, we are significantly reducing recovery times, all while keeping your care close to home.
Advanced Precision with the Intuitive da Vinci 5®
Last summer, Southern New Hampshire Health brought the Intuitive da Vinci 5® surgical system to our community, meaning patients no longer need to travel far for access to the most advanced robotic-assisted surgery available today.
The da Vinci 5 gives our surgical teams superior 3D visualization and enhanced precision across a wide range of procedures, including:
“Bringing the da Vinci 5® into our operating rooms at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center elevates what we can do for our patients every day,” says general surgeon, Dr. Emily Mackey. “It allows us to operate with exceptional precision and confidence while providing advanced surgical care right here in our community.”
Personalized Knee Replacement with the Mako Robot.
With the Stryker Mako robotic system, our orthopedic surgical team now has a powerful tool to perform total knee replacements with a level of accuracy and personalization that wasn't possible before.
The Mako system uses CT-based 3D modeling to create a customized surgical plan for each patient before they ever enter the operating room. During surgery, it provides real-time guidance that helps our surgeons stay within planned boundaries. For the patient, this means:
“What makes the Mako system so impactful is its ability to tailor each procedure to the individual patient,” says Dr. Robert Davis, an orthopedic surgeon at Foundation Orthopedics. “With a customized surgical plan and real-time feedback during surgery, we can place implants more accurately, minimize disruption to surrounding tissue, and help patients get back to their lives more quickly.”
Handheld Accuracy: Smith & Nephew CORI Surgical System
For patients seeking robotic joint replacement, the Smith & Nephew CORI™ Surgical System allows our orthopedic team to work with enhanced precision and adaptability. This handheld, surgeon-controlled technology combines robotics with real-time data for a more responsive approach.
Unlike other systems, CORI uses “image-free” smart mapping to create a 3D model of your anatomy during surgery. This enables a personalized surgical plan and provides real-time guidance throughout the procedure. This eliminates the need for a CT scan while
“What makes the CORI system so valuable is its ability to adapt to each patient in real time,” says Dr. Sean Frost, an orthopedic surgeon at Foundation Orthopedics. “Because we can create a 3D model during surgery without relying on a preoperative CT scan, we’re able to make precise adjustments throughout the procedure. That allows us to place implants more accurately, preserve healthy bone and tissue, and support better functional outcomes.”
Better Outcomes, Closer to Home
By investing in advanced surgical technologies like da Vinci 5, Mako, and CORI, Southern New Hampshire Health is prioritizing both the precision of care and the patient experience. These tools empower our surgical teams to deliver more personalized, minimally invasive treatments without the need for a long commute.
