Kent Hospital provides vascular surgery in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries and veins, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
Stroke or "brain attack" is a vascular illness that can be a devastating and often unexpected event for patients and their families. Often, a stroke is related to the narrowing of the carotid artery in the neck. Another serious vascular event is a weakening in the wall of the aorta, the main blood vessel supplying the body from the heart. This weakening can result in an aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA), in which the blood vessel bulges and then ruptures. AAA is frequently called a "silent killer" since it can also strike without warning. Venous insufficiency can result in varicose veins, pain, fatigue, and swelling of the ankles. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to ulcers.
Our vascular services include:
Welcome to Kent Hospital’s Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). We are proud to provide you, our valued patients, with a new, unique, and truly special outpatient surgical experience that you won’t find anywhere else in Rhode Island. Our new surgery center combines an exceptional outpatient experience with a new, specially designed space, state-of-the-art equipment, and, right next door, the 24-hour support of our full-service hospital. The result is unparalleled ease of access, comfort, and peace of mind for those who need our services.
But there is more that makes this surgery center impressive and unique. By involving our physicians in the design and construction process of the surgery center, and by committing to work with our physicians to manage the surgery center going forward, Kent Hospital has built into the facility culture and an expectation of continuous quality improvement, safety, and efficiency.
Surgeons operating at Kent Hospital have access to the latest and most advanced robotic technology available and have teamed up
with Intuitive to provide the newest da Vinci surgical system with an advanced robotic-assisted surgical platform.
The daVinci Xi surgical system is designed to assist surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. Da Vinci systems are not programmed to perform surgery on their own, but rather the surgeon performs the entire surgery by controlling the robotic system with its precise movements.
Da Vinci Xi offers surgeons:
The daVinci Xi robot uses specialized instrumentation, including a miniaturized surgical camera and wristed instruments (i.e., scissors, scalpels, and forceps) designed to help with precise dissection and reconstruction deep inside the body.
The surgeon is able to use more precise and deliberate movements using these small instruments. With this technology available at Kent Hospital, patients are able to stay close to home, have less pain and discomfort, receive minimal scarring, and recover faster from surgery.
Robotic surgery is not new to Kent Hospital. Kent has been committed to robotic surgery for over a decade and is proud to offer its surgeons the newest technology with the daVinci Xi.
Due to Kent’s surgical affiliation with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, surgical expertise by Brigham and Women’s surgeons is available close to home without having to travel to Boston. Brigham and Women’s surgeons performing DaVinci robotic surgery at Kent include our Thoracic and Colorectal surgeons.
