A R T I C L E:

Riverside Surgical and Weight Loss Center is now offering robotically-assisted minimally invasive surgery as a weight loss surgery option. The addition of this technology to the practice makes Riverside Surgical and Weight Loss Center one of only a handful of bariatric surgical centers in Florida using the most advanced techniques to perform bariatric surgery.

The robotically-assisted minimally invasive method, the da Vinci Surgical System, works as an extension of the surgeon, translating the surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements. This offer high-resolution, 3D visibility and improved accuracy. It's an improvement from traditional and laparoscopic weight loss surgeries. These benefits are translated to the patients as a quicker recovery and improved cosmesis.

Like conventional laparoscopy, the da Vinci Surgical System allows surgeons to operate through just a few tiny (5mm) incisions, but da Vinci offers benefits that conventional laparoscopy does not. With conventional laparoscopy, the instruments are rigid and have limited movement, however with robotically-assisted instruments are wristed and move in all directions with 90 degrees of freedom.

Patients who have their surgery done with da Vinci also experience shorter hospital stay, less pain, lower risk of infection, less blood loss, less scarring, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal daily activities. Benefits like these are prompting surgeons to become certified in robotically-assisted minimally invasive bariatric surgery so that they can better help their patients lose weight and heal quickly.

Dr. Patrick Domkowski, Medical Director at Riverside Surgical and Weight Loss Center, became da Vinci certified in order to offer his patients an effective alternative to traditional open and laparoscopic surgeries. "The enhancements this system offers to both patient and doctor made becoming certified in this system a natural choice for Riverside," he said. "We're constantly striving to offer our patients a safe and exceptional surgical experience that will lead them to successful weight loss and improved health. That often means going through the necessary training to learn about new and improved technologies."

Dr. Jason Radecke, a fellowship trained bariatric surgeon and partner of Riverside Surgical and Weight Loss Center agrees, "We are always moving forward to offer our patients the safest and most advanced technologies to help people reach their goals with respect to weight and health."

The center also offers other advanced weight loss surgery options, such as the STARR treatment surgical system - which allows bariatric surgery to be performed through one, tiny incision.

About Riverside Surgical & Weight Loss Center:

Riverside Surgical & Weight Loss Center is proud to be the only comprehensive surgical weight loss center in the Treasure and Space Coast area to offer patients a comprehensive package to complete their weight loss transformation. Riverside helps its patients realize their goal of achieving significant and lasting weight loss through minimally invasive bariatric surgery.

Renaissance Surgical Arts at Newport Harbor Announces Single-Dose Radiation Treatment Alternative for Women with Early Breast Cancer

Author: Renaissance Surgical Arts at Newport Harbor
Dateline: Costa Mesa, California (COSTA MESA, Calif.)

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Renaissance Surgical Arts at Newport Harbor announced today that it is the first outpatient surgery center in the Western United States to offer intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) using the INTRABEAM System - the only device used in the TARGIT-A multicenter human clinical trial that demonstrated IORT to be as effective as traditional radiation for certain women with early breast cancer.”



A R T I C L E:

Renaissance Surgical Arts at Newport Harbor announced today that it is the first outpatient surgery center in the Western United States to offer intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) using the INTRABEAM® System - the only device used in the TARGIT-A multicenter human clinical trial that demonstrated IORT to be as effective as traditional radiation for certain women with early breast cancer.

IORT has the potential to replace as many as six and a half weeks of routine radiation therapy with 20-30 minutes of targeted radiation administered during surgery directly to the tumor site after lumpectomy.

"IORT is a game-changer for women facing breast cancer - I like to call it one and done," said Dr. Alice Police, breast surgeon at Renaissance and co-founder of Pacific Breast Care in Newport Beach, Calif. "For some women in the earlier stages of breast cancer, IORT makes it possible for them to have one surgery consisting of lumpectomy and single-dose radiation therapy and then go on with their life having completed their breast cancer treatment."

Unlike whole breast radiation treatment, which is administered five times per week for as many as six and a half weeks, IORT provides patients with a targeted single-dose radiation treatment delivered intraoperatively after removal of the tumor. Radiation is applied for 20-30 minutes, exposing the affected tissue in the tumor bed from the inside.

"Dr. Police's passion for IORT as a revolutionary development in treating early breast cancers aligned with our mission to deliver the best surgical technologies available to patients in a comfortable and private outpatient environment," said Bruce Wallace, CEO and Administrator for Renaissance Surgical Arts at Newport Harbor. "We looked at IORT device manufacturers and it was clear that the INTRABEAM System was the only responsible choice given its exclusive use in the TARGIT-A Clinical trial which provides 10 years of study and follow-up data to back its safety and efficacy."

The INTRABEAM System was the only radiotherapy device used in the TARGIT-A clinical trial, the largest randomized clinical trial conducted in the field of IORT for the treatment of breast cancer. The TARGIT-A trial was launched in 2000 and it enrolled 2,232 human patients throughout 28 centers in nine countries. With up to 10-years of follow-up data, the study results demonstrate the equivalency of single-dose targeted IORT in comparison to external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) based on local recurrence.

Renaissance is one of only two outpatient surgery centers in the entire country to offer IORT using the INTRABEAM System, and is the only outpatient facility in the Western United States. It is also the only location at all offering treatment in Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties using the clinically proven INTRABEAM System technology.

"After learning about IORT from Dr. Police, I did my own research on the options, risks and benefits of whole breast and partial breast radiation in comparison to IORT," said Gila Jones, 58 of San Juan Capistrano, Calif. "After feeling confident about effectiveness based on the TARGIT-A outcomes and considering my own lifestyle and other health concerns, IORT became the obvious choice for me. Dr. Police did my surgery at Renaissance where I was treated as an honored guest."

Patients need to be evaluated by a specialist to determine if they are a good candidate for IORT. To find out if you or someone you know is an IORT candidate, contact Renaissance Surgical Arts at Newport Harbor at 949-629-1400. For more information about the TARGIT-A clinical trial, please visit www.targit-research.org or www.targit.org.uk .
